Tea Party governor Scott Walker, who decided to cut education, take away teacher's right to collectively bargain, and give huge tax breaks to the rich, is now under fire. There are recall elections today, August 9th, for 6 Republicans. There was already one recall election, and the Democrat won. The nation will be watching as this unfolds.
I am hoping the voters in Wisconsin will take notice of the extreme measures that Scott Walker has supported. His approval ratings are low, with 59% of voters disapproving of the job he is doing. He is supporting policies that hurt the middle class and the poor. Why voters who are not wealthy would ever support a Republican when it is against their own self-interest to do so is a very interesting phenomenon. But now that the people of Wisconsin are galvanized, hopefully the enthusiasm will spread across the country and America will have a real non-violent revolution, one that fundamentally changes America with Medicare and college for all, and with an environment that is not going to be destroyed by the businesses who care about nothing but profit.
