With Scott Walker as Governor of Wisconsin and the recall election coming fast, it's sometimes useful to look back into the history of Wisconsin to be reminded of what a great Governor can do.

Case in point: Robert M. La Follette.

Dear Super Committee,

Please execute the following simple procedure and call it a day:

The 1% should be thankful about living in the USA. Only in the USA could they have become so rich. Only in the USA could they have gotten rich with thier global investments and the mightiest military in the world to keep those investments safe.

It seems like the 1% haven't been paying their security bill. But how much should they pay?

I have a simple solution on who should pay how much or our national debt: If your group (the 1%) owns 40% of the USA, then you own 40% of the debt of the USA.

Time to start paying...

The unmistakable fact is the Occupy Wall Street movement has been started and derives it's energies from a group that is known as the Millennial Generation.

If you've familiar with the works of historians William Strauss and Neil Howe you might have read their 2000 book, Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation.

NOTE AND WARNING
Inside that book are sweeping generalities regarding the various generations. Treat those generalities as trends - not all encompassing.

Please don't get hung up on the inevitable "but I'm different" thoughts. In real life there is plenty of cross over and exceptions to the general trends.

What Strauss and Howe describe in the book regarding the Millennial Generation matches very closely the attitude, actions and strategies of the OWS protestors.

Read below the fold for a capsule description of what the Next Generation is all about:

Many of us, for various reasons, can't make it to an OWS site to pitch camp. I am, unfortunately, one who can't make it to an occupy site. However I can support the movement and support Moving Your Money in my own small way.

I was so inspired by one diary http://www.dailykos.com/... that I went out to my local Bank Of America.

Imagine the Koch brothers as young children on the Simpsons show. Instead of trading baseball cards, they'd be trading politicians. The Kochs know how to control our government: Buy and collect politicians. From Scott Walker to Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Bachman to Herman Cain.

I enjoy watching the livestream video (http://www.livestream.com/...) of Occupy Wall Street. From what the MSM tells us, they can't figure out what the people are demanding. All they need to do is read the signs. That's what I do when I watch the video -read the signs. After a few minutes, it's easy to get the general trends:

1) No more bailouts
2) Forgive student debt
3) Bring back Glass–Steagall
4) Outlaw lobbyists and corporate money in the political process.
5) Single Payer Healthcare

I agree with and support all of the above. Sadly, one very important concept is underrepresented: (Below the fold)

Let me tell you a little story about an MIT conference a few years back before I uncover the surprisingly easy way our good President Obama can instantly recover an estimated 2 million high paying jobs without spending an extra cent in tax or borrowed money.

We all know the danger of a third party candidate. Third party candidates peel off voters from either the Democrat or Republican candidates and leads to defeat for one or the other.

So what to do? Many feel that Democrat leadership at the national level is out of touch with reality and beholden to the same corporate interests as the GOP. If you live in Michigan you probably think the same at the state level.

The allure of somehow launching a third party to represent the unmet needs of the working class and the jobless is strong. The final results will be disastrous.

So what can the disaffected masses who want our elective officials to put the working class first? The answer has been in our face since 2010. More on that after the jump.

What do Scott Walker and Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old British girl who was murdered in 2002, have in common?

I'll get to that connection after the jump but first consider this:
Have you wondered why the Republicans in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and elsewhere are so keen on demonizing your children's grade school teachers?
