Scott Walker will have succeeded in giving tax cuts to the rich in his state, to his contributo rs. He's already won. The unions have already been denied funding because of it, so it's just another campaign cycle or two before they're completely gone.
This is how the middle class has been decimated. Once concession at a time. It's why we don't need any more Obamas, who want to work in a "bipartisan manner".
We need fighters, politicians with fire-the-b elly, persuasive speakers who can educate the People who vote for Republican s and DLC-Democr ats.
That's not this current crop of Democrats.
