Will the real Governor of Wisconsin stand up? And he did and his last name was Koch.Why would these billionaires be interested in sending millions of dollars to several Republican governors just elected such as Scott Walker? Could it be because public unions keep middle class wages higher and business must adhere to medical insurance and safety practices that they do not have to do in right to work states? This like Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare deductions, takes away from the huge profits of big business. Imagine if they could get away from those deductions, after all, they certainly will not need these programs. They do not even believe in public schools.
Can you imagine even the bigger tax breaks for the 1 percent that there would be? They may not have to put up so much PAC money anymore. I cannot believe that any of us really believe that the Koch billionaires are sending all these millions of dollars to our state without wanting something in return.
After all, billionaires do not get to be billionaires by giving away millions. There is always something in it for them.
It is their American Dream, their greed, their power in our state. This is our state, our American Dream and it is about time, like my son who has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, we fight to keep our middle class dream alive, like our grandfathers did. If you are in the 99 percent, please neighbors stop fighting for the 1 percent; they are laughing at you all the way to the bank.

My response:
For some reason, Democrats and lefty-liberals have a huge Koch fixation.
Yes, the Libertarian Koch brothers have donated large amounts of money to the campaigns of those who, like our own Governor Walker, are fighting to end the stranglehold that left-liberal politics and deficit spending have had on our economy. So what?
How about the billions foreigners like George Soros have pumped into the campaigns of persons like Barack Obama? At least the Koch brothers are American citizens, and made their money by running a successful business - that incidentally employs thousands of American workers. They follow federal laws concerning worker safety, which were not changed by Wisconsin's legislation.
Public unions are a conflict of interest by definition. The employees of a unionized private company do not have the power to demand that taxpayers give them raises, as did public union members until Governor Walker signed that bill curtailing some - not all -of their bargaining "rights".
Most middle-class workers in Wisconsin do not belong to public unions. They have to pay for all the benefits public workers get, even if it means their own families must go hungry, as taxes are taken from their wages before they get them.
As far as PACs go, didn't Mr. Obama recently go back on his promise not to use PAC money himself?
I salute the writer's son who served in the military. He fought to keep the dream most Americans have alive - that they can live their lives without the government regulation every moment of them, and taxing them into poverty.
I would also like to point out that her grandfathers did not have to deal with public unions or the overblown federal and state governments that we have today.
