4. Minnesota, unlike Wisconsin, is doing very well.

7. Right To Work for Everyone!

The Republicans want all 50 states to be Right to Work States, with NO collective bargaining for salaries or working conditions, well that's ok with me,

ONLY IF:

EVERY Wall St. Banker,
EVERY politician
EVERY lobbyist
EVERY Congressmen
EVERY Senator,
EVERY Supreme Court Judge
EVERY CEO
EVERY Hedge Fund managers
EVERY corporation lawyer

Are held to the SAME standard!
NO BARGAINING, Or NEGOIATING SALARIES or GOLDEN PARACHETES,
Let's REDUCE THEIR OBSCENE SALARIES! STOCK OPTIONS! ETC?
A company UNDER PERFORMS why are these CEOs getting REWARDED?????
THey SHOULD BE FIRED or salaries drastically REDUCED!

RIGHT TO WORK, BRING IT ON FOR ALL!!!!!!
