As Wisconsin republicans move closer to legislating a right to work for less law in Wisconsin, foks here in Michigan can tell them exactly what this law will mean:
It will not create any jobs. It will not attract businesses to your state. It will not increase anyone's wages. It will not increase the state's standard of living. It will not keep college graduates in your state. It will not attract highly skilled individuals to your state. It will not improve your kids education.
On the other hand, it will decrease wages. It will lead to a lowered standard of living. It will send your kids to other states that are more friendly to workers. It will lead to an exodus of college graduates. It will mean that fewer people want to teach in your state and your kids education will suffer. It will lead to people abandoning your state in droves--who the hell wants to freeze their asses off for six months out of the year to work for peanuts?
It will also mean that your state, just like your neighbor to the east, is on the fast track to being as culturally, politically, and economically irrelevant as the Dakotas.
Probably should have followed the lead of your neighbor to the west, Minnesota. Seems they elected a Democratic governor who raised taxes on the rich and raised the minimum wage--and now they have one of the best economies in the United States.
Too bad your governor, Scott Walker, chose to bury his nose in the Koch brothers asses, much like our governor, Rick Snyder, chose to bury his nose in the DeVos family's asses. Funny how that works, isn't it? He gets to run for President while you and your family get to survive on less and less money.
It's enough to make a man want to grab a pitchfork....
Peace,
