Republican War On Working Families

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    – Governor Walker and the Republicans
  • 0:02 - 0:07
    just gave over $100 million in tax cuts to corporations.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    And now they're asking teachers and nurses to pay for it,
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    and attacking workers' rights to negotiate for fair benefits.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    – It will probably cost us between
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    $400 and $500 a month in income.
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    I've tried not to think about it, just be out here on the square.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    It's not selfish; it's just survival.
  • 0:24 - 0:29
    – I'm just a secretary, and this bill that Walker's proposing
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    is going to cost me over $3000 a year,
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    not to mention more down the road
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    when we lose our collective bargaining rights.
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    – I believe the issues that are being discussed here in Madison
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    are not unique to Madison or the state of Wisconsin.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    These are national issues.
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    Money is being taken away from workers
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    and the tax breaks given to major corporations.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    – This is Republican class warfare,
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    an attack on the middle class.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    This is a battle we need to win.
