Often during the Wisconsin pro-union protests this past week, the mantra heard from crowds and Wisconsin Democratic legislators is that their demands are only about losing collective bargaining power and “not about money.”

 

I took photos on Sunday afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin, and the signs of protesters show that their concerns are only about money. These themes on the signs amounted to: tax the rich, don’t cut education funding, corporations paying a fair share, no tax breaks for businesses, and no bailout on the backs of unions.

These signs only reek of money concerns, and if many thousands gather to protest and anti-war themes are nowhere to be found, the motivation is more than likely about their money.
