Wisconsin and the Republican End Game

This is really about the right of collective bargaining vs. union-busting. But more than
that, this whole thing is about politics more than an austerity budget. It's about the
unions' ability to raise money for political campaigns, really the last bastion of Dems'
deep-pocket fund-raising. Since the Supreme Court ruling making corporations the
same as individuals, the big bucks have swung toward the GOP, with the Koch brothers,
Rove's group, Dick Armey's tea party group, etc. If they can bust the union in Wisconsin
they can do it anywhere. This is the endgame.

Win at all costs.
