Michele Bachmann has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from scammers, ponzi predators, common and uncommon thieves, and is the delight of the Tea Party which uses the same slogans as the KKK and Nazi movements: from black-face to demands that government shuts down. The focus of much of this hate is on labor, but labor costs have gone down, production up, and the USA enjoys one of the lowest inflationary rates in the world. Bachmann continues to lie.
Labor unions have been attacked as un-American in Republican-led states. Labor is accustomed to being belittled, degraded, defamed, but it is because of collective bargaining that workers in the USA enjoy an eight hour work day, a five day work week, unemployment benefits, and more.
Scott Walker of Wisconsin is trying hard to destroy the rights of people to engage in collective bargaining. Deep in the pay of the Koch Brothers of Kansas, he would refashion Wisconsin in the same way as Adolf Hitler remade Germany.
Attacks on workers organizing for better working conditions, pay, and fewer hours has plighted Europe since the fourteenth century. This has been especially true today in Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and other Red States where new governors who bought their offices with money from the Koch Brothers by promising lucrative state grants have threatened violence similar to the Tea and Roses bloodbath, and the various attacks in the past on Wisconsin workers. Scott Walker lies regularly about the state of the State of Wisconsin and is urging a civil war between the rich and the rest of the state.
