Shepard Smith, host of Fox Report even admitted that it’s not about the money, it’s about union busting, on his show. Fox hasn’t posted this video yet.
If his only motivation is busting up the unions then I'm just fine with that.

Wisconsin's ethically challenged Govenor Scott Walker
Governor Walker is unethical in your eyes? Are you kidding me? He's trying to rid the state of overly compensated union workers and entitlements and you call him unethical while the democrat weasels skip town. Amazing.

Are you referring to 8:15 in part 1 where he says "This is about the budget, this is about public sector unions, Hell even FDR got it, there's no place for having tax payers money being used to pay to lobby to spend more tax payers money... It's absolutely ridicules."

Wow, did you even listen to what you just posted? Walker did a great job staying on track and actually made his case very well despite the host's trying to get him off track by fooling him. You and your brothers doing this hit and run job this week don't get it. You have come to a forum that most do their homework quite well and make it a point to stay on top of the issues. You guys come here and try to make this poverty claim when folks in your own state making way less money are forced to pay for your bills. The jig is up. I've been sick of it for a long while and now the rest of America is fed up with being held hostage by public unions. None of you have explained why you should continue to be paid and receive health benefits after you leave your job. Why do you take the time and explain that answer first before you go on to your next pathetic post!

Government unions have nothing in common with private sector unions because they don't have hostile management on the other side of the bargaining table. To the contrary, the "bosses" of government employees are co-conspirators with them in bilking the taxpayers.
Far from being careful stewards of the taxpayers' money, politicians are on the same side of the bargaining table as government employees -- against the taxpayers, who aren't allowed to be part of the negotiation. This is why the head of New York's largest public union in the mid-'70s, Victor Gotbaum, gloated, "We have the ability to elect our own boss."
Democratic politicians don't think of themselves as "management." They don't respond to union demands for more money by saying, "Are you kidding me?" They say, "Great -- get me a raise too!"
Democrats buy the votes of government workers with generous pay packages and benefits -- paid for by someone else -- and then expect a kickback from the unions in the form of hefty campaign donations, rent-a-mobs and questionable union political activity when they run for re-election.
In 2006, 10,000 public employees staged a rally outside the New Jersey State House to protest the mere discussion of a cut to their gold-plated salaries and benefits. Then-Gov. Jon Corzine leapt onto the stage shouting: "We will fight for a fair contract!"
Only later, someone noticed: Wait -- isn't he management? (It takes a special kind of courage to promise 10,000 crazed union agitators that you'll fight to get them more money.)
Service Employees International Union officials openly threaten California legislators. At a 2009 legislative hearing, an SEIU member sneered into a microphone: "We helped to getchu into office, and we gotta good memory. Come November, if you don't back our program, we'll getchu out of office."
It used to be widely understood that collective bargaining has no place in government employment. In 1937, the American president beloved by liberals, FDR, warned that collective bargaining "cannot be transplanted into the public service." George Meany, head of the AFL-CIO for a quarter century, said unions were not appropriate for civil servants. As recently as 1978, the vast majority of states prohibited unionization of government employees.
Anytime there is the slightest suggestion that perhaps in the middle of a deep recession, public school teachers should pay 1.5 percent of their salaries toward their extravagant health care plans for their entire families, suddenly we get television ads of hard-working men doing dangerous jobs on docks and in foundries while being abused by their greedy capitalist overseers.
The unions must be desperately hoping that no one will notice ... Wait a minute! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEACHERS! This isn't the Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" -- it's Mrs. Cooper's seventh-grade "values clarification" class.
With heavy union dues, labor has plenty of money to pay for propaganda and to threaten and bribe politicians.
On his first day in office, the Republican governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, signed an executive order denying public sector employees the right to bargain collectively -- something that had been granted, naturally, by a Democratic governor.
As a result, Indiana government employees instantly got to take home an extra thousand dollars that no longer went to union dues -- and good employees started getting raises, while bad employees got cashiered.
But government workers think the job of everyone else in the economy is to protect their high salaries, crazy work rules and obscene pensions. They self-righteously lecture us about public service, the children, a "living wage" -- all in the service of squeezing more money from the taxpayer to fund their breathtakingly selfish job arrangements.
There's never a recession if you work for the government. The counties with the highest per capita income aren't near New York City or Los Angeles -- they're in the Washington, D.C., area -- a one-company town where the company is the government. The three counties with the highest incomes in the entire country are all suburbs of Washington. Eleven of the 25 counties with the highest incomes are near Washington.
For decades now, the Democrats have had a good gig buying the votes of government workers with outrageous salaries, benefits and work rules -- and then sticking productive earners with the bill. But, now, we're out of money, no matter how long Wisconsin Democrats hide out in Illinois.
Apparently some people don't understand that "States" can't just print more money when they are out of it, SO STATES have to balance thier budget. Scott Walker campaigned on busting the unions, and looks to me, he got elected and he's doing just what he said he'd do. I hope he does bust the union's back, and balances the budget. Imagine, a politician doing what he said he'd do and got elected to do!! And to YOU, that is un-ethical!!

that can't be!!!! Everyone knows that everyone who works for fauxnews is a right wing extremist!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!![/Democrap with suddenly shattered worldview...]
Interesting.... You can't type a sentence in allcaps...
What exactly do you think Social Security, MediCaid and MediCare are? Everybody already expects the government to pay for their medical care and their income when they retire!!! Where have you been for the last 30 years?
Where have you been? SS is 7 trillion in the hole. Where is that money going to come from? This year it paid out 30 billion more than came into the government.
Medicare is over 75 trillion in the hole. Where is that money going to come from?
There is a very rude awakening about to take place. Just because you reach a certain age, your neighbors dont/ aren't going to pay your bills anymore. Thos liberal programs are on the edge of collapse and there is no way to save them. This public union crap is just the very tip of the iceberg. More to follow in the years ahead!
