The Corporate-GOP Attack on Americas Middle Class

Michigans GOP Governor Slashes Corporate Tax Rate by 86 Percent, Hikes Taxes for Working Poor

Pat Garofolo, ThinkProgress: 'As we've been documenting, several conservative governors have proposed placing the brunt of deficit reduction onto the backs of their states public employees, students, and middle-class taxpayers, while simultaneously trying to enact corporate tax cuts and giveaways. Govs. Rick Scott (R-FL), Tom Corbett (R-PA), and Jan Brewer (R-AZ) have all gone down this road. Following suit, Gov. Rick Snyder (R-MI) has proposed ending his state's Earned Income Tax Credit, cutting a $600 per child tax credit, and reducing credits for seniors, while also cutting funding for school districts by eight to ten percent. At the same time, as the Michigan League for Human Services found, the state's business taxes would be reduced by nearly $2 billion, or 86 percent ...'

The Corporate-GOP Attack on Americas Middle Class

Jim Hightower, OtherWords: 'Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's autocratic attempt to abrogate the democratic right of public employees to bargain with their governmental bosses is not wearing well with the public. Recent polls show that a mere one-third of Wisconsinites favor his blatantly political power play, and that if he had told voters in the last year's election that he intended to do this, he would've lost.'

The Key to Rebuilding Workers' Power: Unrig the Rules

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'The battle in Wisconsin over the rights of public-sector workers holds the potential to reawaken workers across the country to demand their fair share of the economic pie. This could be an important turning point. However, if workers are to make real progress, they must move to alter the rules of the game. These rules have been deliberately rigged against them over the last three decades.'

What's Next for Wisconsin?

Mark Brenner and Jane Slaughter, Labor Notes: 'Wisconsin Republicans copped to the fact Wednesday that their political standoff with the rest of the state was really about smashing unions, not closing the state's budget gap. Twenty-four hours later - after some dizzying political acrobatics - they rammed through a measure to strip collective bargaining rights from public sector workers, flouting public opinion and the state's open meeting laws. For Wisconsin's working class this move was a clear sign - as if one was needed - that the state's millionaires and billionaires (and the politicians who carry their water) will stop at nothing to ram through their agenda. And for the rest of the labor movement, it's a sign of things to come.'

Power Concedes Nothing Without a Demand

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'The liberal class is discovering what happens when you tolerate the intolerant. Let hate speech pollute the airways. Let corporations buy up your courts and state and federal legislative bodies. Let the Christian religion be manipulated by charlatans to demonize Muslims, gays and intellectuals, discredit science and become a source of personal enrichment. Let unions wither under corporate assault. Let social services and public education be stripped of funding. Let Wall Street loot the national treasury with impunity. Let sleazy con artists use lies and deception to carry out unethical sting operations on tottering liberal institutions, and you roll out the welcome mat for fascism.'

Keine Ruhe in Wisconsin: 100.000 gegen Antigewerkschaftsgesetz auf der Straße

Erneut haben bis zu 100.000 Menschen beim Wisconsin State Capitol am Samstag gegen das Antigewerkschaftsgesetz AB11 protestiert.

Wisconsin 'Budget Repair Bill' Protest

'Das Haushaltsgesetz hat gestern den Senat passiert. Die Protestierenden kämpften seit dem 15. Februar gegen das Gesetz, das die gewerkschaftlichen Rechte der öffentlichen Angestellten massiv einschränkt. Das Gesetz sieht u.a. vor, dass die öffentlichen Angestellten nicht mehr kollektiv über ihre Renten und Gesundheitsvorsorge verhandeln dürfen. Bei Lohnverhandlungen ist es den Gewerkschaften zukünftig verboten, Forderungen zu erheben, die über den Teuerungsindex (Consumer Price Index) hinaus gehen. Die 14 Demokratischen Senatoren, die den Bundesstaat verlassen hatten, um zu verhindern, dass das Gesetz durchgeht, wollen gerichtlich gegen das Gesetz vorgehen. In dem immer noch besetzten Parlamentsgebäude in Madison wurde das Ergebnis mit 'Schande - Schande' Rufen quittiert.?

Wisconsin: Die Schlacht ist noch nicht geschlagen

Nach diversen parlamentarischen Manövern hatte der republikanische Gouverneur von Wisconsin endlich die Mehrheit für sein antigewerkschaftliches Pilotprojekt im öffentlichen Dienst, aber keineswegs die Probleme gelöst, vor denen er dadurch steht: Die grösste Demonstration der Geschichte Wisconsins war die Antwort - und deren Inhalt war klar: Das verabschiedete Gesetz soll ebenso zu Fall gebracht werden, wie die undemokratische Regierung. Dasist der Kern des Berichts 'Undaunted! More Than 100,000 Wisconsinites Rally 'To Take Our State Back!' von John Nichols am 12. März 2011 in The Nation: http://www.thenation.com/print/blog/159209/undaunted-more-100000-wisconsinites-rally-take-our-state-back

April 4: We are One ? Respect our Rights

'Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., where he was standing with sanitation workers demanding their dream of a better life. Today, the right to bargain collectively for a voice at work and a middle-class life are under attack as never before. Join us to make April 4, 2011, and the days surrounding it, a day to stand in solidarity with working people in Wisconsin and dozens of other states where corporate-bought politicians are trying to take away the rights Dr. King gave his life for.

Obamas disgrace

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

03/11/11

Traditionally in the United States, when the government cannot bear its burden of proof before a court, it must set a suspect free. But the so-called 'war on terror' changed all that for people arbitrarily branded terrorist suspects or enemy combatants. Carrying on the policy established by Bush, the Obama administration takes the position that someone felt to be a threat to national security can be denied a trial and held prisoner indefinitely. Nothing is more un-American...

Revolutionary Movement in the Arab World: What Role is the US Media Playing?

By Diana Mukkaled

The US media's view of the world has informed its view of the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions, for it divides the world into good and evil as if real life is like a Hollywood movie where the hero bravely fights against the forces of evil and always triumphs.

Obama Defends Abuse Of Private Bradley Manning

By Patrick Martin

If another country were meting out similarly sadistic treatment to a captured American POW, the Pentagon and the American media would be howling about war crimes. But Manning's treatment has been largely blacked out of the corporate-controlled mass media.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27668.htm



Why is the United States torturing Private Manning?

Ten months after his arrest on charges of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, Army Pfc. Bradley Manning is systematically being stripped of his humanness by his warders at the brig inside the Marine base at Quantico, Va.
