Pro-Union Protests in the United States

The recent Pro-Union protests in the United States has shown that the political system in the United States no-longer care about the people it's meant to serve but the massive corporations that contribute funding for their re-election campaigns.


This can be seen in the US State of Wisconsin. When Governor Scott Walker went ahead on the states highly unpopular bill that greatly curtailed the rights of Public Worker Union's in the state. This bill was passed even considering that Democratic members were not present when the bill was voted into action. Governor Scott Walker supported his own actions by stating that this bill will save the state vital money needed to curtail the states growing deficit.


Although that just adds more questions. If Scott Walker is on a mission to rescue the State's Finances from the disaster of a massive uncontrollable deficit then why has Wisconsin recently spent money on a bill meaning that companies won't have to pay any taxes for the first two years once they move into the state. While medicare, local government and the educational system in the state seem to be the targets for the upcoming cuts to the states budget.


That's one of the reason Governor Walker wishes to cut the right of Public sector workers to actively strike. When he starts cutting public services like education, healthcare and other public services like libraries and food-stamp programmes he would of greatly curtailed the organized efforts of the Union's to actively protest against these viscous cuts and expected redundancies. Another reason for the Union busting bill also came into view when a American blogger managed to record a phone conversation with the Governor whilst pretending to be one of the Koch brothers (a group of billionaires that founded Scott Walkers election campaign)  


In the phone call Governor Walker panders to the Fake Koch's every word, agreeing to loosen the power of Union's so that the Koch brothers have an easier time making job cuts in the various plants and offices they have in his state, completely disregarding the fact that their personal wealth has increased billions over the past few years and remain's unaffected by the global recession which continues to hit the middle/lower class hard. Governor Walker even toyed with the idea of sending a few 'troublemakers' with weapons to incite violence in the protesters in a bid to change the media's outlook on the Pro-Union protests breaking out all over his state.
