Blood in the streets?

MANIFESTO

I've been out of the loop for a week, but the Wisconsin situation could be the seminal event in the ultimate unraveling of the American middle class.

The plutocrats have had no problem in giving billions of dollars to undeserving fellow plutocrats, but when it comes to providing some protection in retaining a living wage for the middle class, the Tea Partiers and their ilk will have none of it.

I've sung the refrain of blood in the streets before, but this time it sure does look like the barricades have been manned in Madison.
