Far left protesters held a protest today the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. The protesters planned to march against business groups. They also were holding tax the rich workshops.
Madison reported:
On the heels of a shocking reversal in a critical Supreme Court race, union members and their supporters rallied Saturday at the Capitol, pointed fingers at the state business lobby and made plans for building their movement, which has already generated months of mass demonstrations and a spate of recall campaigns.
“This is about regrouping for the long haul,” said Ben Manski, a Madison lawyer and activist who helped organize events that started at noon Saturday and were to continue Saturday night and Sunday with workshops on a wide array of political topics from direction action campaigning, building coalitions and taxing the rich.Protesters planned to march to the offices of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce on West Washington Avenue.
Manski said the action was sparked in part by the attention given to Charles and David Koch, billionaire brothers who have given millions to right wing causes, including Republicans and Tea Party organizations who have supported Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
“There has been a lot of publicity about the Koch brothers influencing Wisconsin politics, but the fact is that Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce is the lobby group that’s in the Capitol day in and day out working to shift taxes from the wealthy to the rest of us,” Manski said.
The report did not mention how many loons showed up for the rally/workshops.
UPDATE: Here’s a list of the scheduled workshops.

Manski needs to get his butt to Europe. He’d run back to the US screaming like a little baby. Yep Manski, EVERYONE pays taxes here. Everyone. Even those who make less than 1,000 Euro per month.
And even with that the money is not enough. Haha!

“Hey, man, I know, I know. [Long drag on a joint]. We’ll, we’ll like really, we’ll really tax them business bastards, and ya know, so much like they won’t be able to do anything. And then, then, we’ll force them to like give us really good jobs ‘cuz that’ll make us into the middle class. [Another drag] That, that’ll show ‘em.”

Maybe business owners should not cater to people who would protest them. mpw

They believe elections count only when they win.
Maybe the more intelligent among the progressive idiots are feeling the way Hitler did when he was sweating the fatal end in the bunker.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Daniel commented:
So those protesters don’t have jobs themselves?
No where else to go? Nothing to be responsible for?
Other than their own, feeble attempts at hurting someone or some business that doesn’t even know who they are, and likely would never hire thosee sloths.
Well, good luck with that. Oh. Don’t forget your permits.
Ella commented:
NOTHING makes a leftard happier than knowing that someone else who has a bit more has to pay through the nose so that the leftard gets another free benefit of some kind.
Or so they think. In the end no-one really has anything. The person who at one point was richer has been plucked dry, and the leftard didn’t really gain much of anything either, but the leftard is happier, because at least that rich b*st*rd is not rich anymore. That’s how it works. Envy and hatred by the left. Justice is what they call it. In the end everyone has a crappy life.

Nothing like respecting the democratic process.

You know, the Bill of Rights says that the people have the “right to peaceably assemble to petition for a redress of grievances,” not “repeatedly shut down businesses and government and hold society hostage until they get their way, the will of the voters be damned.”

when you work and somebody else owns what you worked for you are a slave. that is the goal of liberalism; government enslavement of the workers.

tommy mc donnell commented:
the founding fathers felt that government should be an institution that serves all the people equally. liberals think government should be a weapon to punish people that work to reward people whose vote they can buy so they can stay in power permanently. we need to end liberal america’s government caste system.

Rose commented:
Yeah, don’t let the UNION Racketeering THUGS have a chance to think what happens if they chase Business and Commerce out fo he State – who will pay their high triple times wages and the benefits on top of that! They think Obama has a money tree in his back yard!
Old One commented:
The presence of the type of lefturd loons of the Manski stripe is sure to attract more business & employment to the welfare gov’t employeee tyrannical hellhole that is Wisconsin, Not. Like neighboring loony lands Illinois, Minnesota, & Wisconsin all democorrupt leaning high tax hellholes are states that for fifty years have been growing demographicallt & economically at far below the national average.
Were I an industrial firm exec I would be rushing off to low tax fast growing Texas, Arizona, or Georgia not tax more Wisconsin where the goonions & leftards seem to reign supreme. We must remember for libtards its all about feelings not reality.
Mueller commented:
“take Wisconsin back from Wisconsin manufactureers and commerce”
That right there is some eye crossing, mind numbing, teeth grinding, industrial strength stupid right there.
watcher commented:
If I ever meet them face to face, I will be challenging them to actually start a business, keep it going, and meet payroll every two weeks, while keeping the customers happy, and the gov. off their backs. After they’ve done that we can have a discussion. Been there, done that with the spouse.
