There were huge riots this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin against the new governor. A representaive from Wisconsin compared governor Walker to Mubarak, the president from Egypt. Walker claims he is trying to be responsible by changing the Wisconsin government out of a democracy and eventually into a third world style oligarchy. Apparently the riots are not about budget, it's about the power which is why people want to break the unions. Although unions are a huge part in intutions to counterweight the power of big money. Walker continues to try to get rid of the protesters.
I don't really understand the whole situation, I know there have been riots in Wisconsin but I don't quite get the whole concept of them.
