If democracy being subverted is your worry, I'd worry far more about the billions of dollars being spent by right wing fruitcakes...the dollars piling into Wisconsin right now are overwhelmingly in favor of Walker's retention, and those dollars aren't coming from the Wisconsin voters.
Fish on...

I bet the average state worker salary is higher in 50 states, plus the District of Columbia...considering how many people work for minimum wage and the like, private sector average salary is always going to be lower.
How about comparing the average salaries of the top ten percent of private sector earners, and public sector earners?
No? I didn't think so.
Fish on...

Most polls are in favor of Walker.

Yes, they are...I suspect he'll win, but it will be close enough to not really matter on much elsewhere or elsewhen, either way.
Fish on...

State workers salary of WI is 81,000.00 Private sector is 67,000.00. State gov't. doesn't operate many hamburger joints or hire hotel maids/housekeepers or other minimum wage jobs. Think that might have something to do with it?

Does anyone here think we aren't heading towards what's happening in Greece?

Close, but no cigar, according to exit polls quoted by the drudge report...

Considering the Walker campaign spent over $30 Million, with about $22 Million of it coming from right wing organizations outside of the State of Wisconsin, and the Barrett campaign spent $4 Million, with about one million of it coming from left wing organizations outside of the State of Wisconsin, and it's still neck and neck, should be very demonstrative of what the actual result should be.
The fact that it's even close shows how bad the Citizens United ruling by those douchebags on the Supreme Court is for actual democracy...and I mean actual representative government, not the best you can buy that the CU ruling is hoping to get us.
Fish on...
Todd
P.S. The Republican robo-call that went out this morning in Wisconsin telling people who signed the petition for the recall didn't need to go to the polls because their vote will already be counted in favor of ditching Walker also shows the kind of disdain that Republicans in Wisconsin have for both democracy and the truth. I hope some folks go to jail for it when the investigation is over.
