Why didn't he bring this up during the Campaign? He won by a pretty sizeable margin. Had he made his point about collective bargaining in the campaign he wouldn't have won by as big a margin. But he would have more than likely won all the same and they wouldn't have to deal with all this recall shit.
"It's working", right. My property taxes went up, it is projected the state will have a 140 million dollar budget shortfall, and his attack on public workers has gone to the private sector.
FYI, he continues to say unions, but this also took away from the non-union public workers. Also, public workers don't negotiate with congress (democrats). They negotiate with an elected board. Librarians for instance negotiate with the local library board.
Scott Walker's pedophile friends are taking trips to Hawaii on money they stole from veterans groups while I get laid-off through my company's attempt to bust a union I do not belong to. Then the government tells me I am not eligible for unemployment compensation despite the fact that I have paid into it for the last 20 years. Explain to me again how he is on my side.
It is the Employers who pay state and federal taxes to cover all those unemployment checks. However, since mr oblama has come-into office, there isn't enough money in those accounts to pay for all his extensions.
This is a warning to all republicans who plan on voting to recall Scott Walker. Stay out-this is not your fight. We know who you are and if you vote to recall scott Walker you will be dealt with severely. We will come after you and your families. You have been warned. Stay out of the recall!
Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs. I will work with Cantor, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. bless the GOP!
I love this Gov !! So, next door in WI, there is a real estate tax freeze. Here in MN, our homestead tax credits were eliminated. Many people struggling in this horrible economy are not going to be able to afford their taxes. Thanks to our Gov, Mark Dayton (D). Sure wish we could trade....
@MNPonyLady now the reps are talking about ending earnd income credit. in WI, how are the poor and middle class of WI going to servive if walker keeps taking from us and giving to the rich, out of state companies
@MNPonyLady I live in Wisconsin and my property taxes went up this year. Meanwhile, government services such as snow removal unemployment compensation, library funding, assistance to the disabled and the ederly, etc. have gone down appreciably. Don't believe the hype.
The overwhelming majority of Americans, probably in excess of 100 to 1 over the lefty loons and their tools in the mainstream media, steadfastly support and greatly admire Governor Walker. He is bringing fiscal sanity and responsibility to the state despite the torrent of lies and distortions designed to confuse the public. God bless you Gov. Walker.
@3434arc1 Please explain to me how the mainstream media, all of it owned by rich capitalists, is somehow capitalism's harshest critic. I would really like that question answered.
Hello. I might be a Koch Brother and am going to run your state. I will give you millions if you do what you are told. The voters are stupid and elected you because we advertise for you and they will believe anything if it's played over and over again. The Chinese first learned of brainwashing, mind control, by just playing the same sound bytes over and over again. It worked in Wisconsin. Why do we spend millions you ask? Because we expect BILLIONS in return. GREED is GOOD. People are suckers
Entitlement=Contract. The GOP no longer honors contracts it seems.
If you bought a house for 6% on a 30 year fixed and say after 10 years, the bank called and stated it's now 10% and you need to pay $500 a month more, would you be mad?
The GOP doesn't honor contracts made at hire date.
I don't know much about this, but collectivism is communism, not individualism, aka americanism or libertarianism. Be Self-Reliant, don't trust your government, and learn HISTORY!
The recall might not fail because last time I checked it had 55-60% approval. Walker might be a SAVIOR but only in your eyes because you arent working class and dont understand what its like to truly struggle.
The polls are bullshit. Every day more people realize the BENEFIT of Walker's policies. You don't stand a chance.
Look at the silly stereotypes you believe!
I am MOST DEFINITELY working class. I do know what it's like to struggle. And I'm smart enough to understand that "liberal" policies are DESTRUCTIVE to the working class!
You like this economy? Is it HELPING you get ahead? The economy was destroyed by STATIST policies--both Democrat and GOP.
@kennyjwi Facts? Facts are the Koch Brothers are behind funding adds to keep Walker in office. Your governor is in the GOP which attacks the poor, elderly, veterans, teachers, the handicapped to give billionaires tax cuts. 100% of the GOP voted for the RYAN PLAN which turns Medicare into a voucher system that would take up to $800 a month out of the average Social Security check of $1,000 a month, leaving seniors, $200 a month for food,rent, utilities, the basics of life.
"Funding ads" is not a crime. It's a 1st Amendment right. It's called DEMOCRACY. You fascists should learn about it.
The GOP does not "attack the poor." What attacks the poor is statist morons like you who fuck the economy and put people out of work.
And the Ryan Plan DOES NOT CUT BENEFITS FOR EXISTING SSI RECIPIENTS. Just how ignorant or dishonest must you people be to keep spreading this LIE? Read the plan yourself, you brainwashed automaton.
@UncleIrv Your a typical GOP A-Hole. go figure. They are all over this site . Sorry bud but your Walker is history and will lose in a LANDSLIDE. Just look to your left at Ohio, you will see the results of those who attack unions, the poor, the middle class, the elderly, the handicapped.
Walker just made a HUGE mistake and now, it's too late for him.
He will be thrown out of office like the rest of them. This is your 2012 preview. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and see how Democracy works.
Your statist demagoguery doesn't fly any more. People are waking up. We are surrounded by the devastating results of your policies.
Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results. EVERYWHERE statism is tried, it fails. And the human cost is tragic.
You have no care for "the poor." It is YOU who have fucked them out of a future. You are pure evil, guided only by your own greed, poisoned by Marxist Kool-Aid.
@UncleIrv Ohio has spoken in a LANDSLIDE. Walker is a Koch Whore and it's all on tape, dummy.
The GOP are anarchists supporting the 1%, the millionaires. They have tried to buy elections and the people are sick of these bums. The GOP candidates for President are a disgrace to America. Mormons, morons, racists, attempted rapists and former lobbyists who served divorce papers on a wife in the hospital! Pathetic.
You are going to see real Democracy. Walker, is done. You can put a fork in him.
@coltor9 Excellent point. Of the nine billionaires living in Wisconsin one did make the list of major donors to Republican campaigns while seven donated between $100,000 and $850,000 to various Democrat campaigns or bundlers.
Socialist rhetoric is soooo obviously stupid when compared to reality.
The Clinton and Obama administrations set new records for corruption in fundraising. Illegal foreign donations, money laundering, Obama's rejection of public funding, etc. NOTHING the GOP has ever done has come close.
And Wall Street is far more tied to the DEMOCRAT party than the GOP. Why do you think Wall Street donates far more money to DEMOCRATS? Obama was the biggest pusher of BAILOUTS. His administration is filled with Goldman-Sachs cronies.
@coltor9 Lol, making stuff up and calling me names won't change the facts. You can feel free to go back to your little fantasy world now and let us grownups have a conversation.
Collective Bargaining is a privilege, not a right. It is not a declared right in our U.S. Constitution and not in one of our 50 State Constitutions. Thanks to Gov. Walker Wisconsin is now in the black and bringing in new businesses everyday. Isn't that what is expected of any successful Governor?
I always hear about rich vs the poor and "Class Envy"-- but really it is the grabber vs. the grabbee The union's( ESPECIALLY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE'S) using politics , fear and strong armed tactics to steal from the rest of the citizenry
Now this is a governor worthy of his paycheck. State budgets will never be balanced until the public unions are vastly reduced in power or eliminated completely. They've proven to be highly effective fund raising entities for the Democrat Party because that relationship is incestuous--public money used by public unions to fund Democrats who support ever more largesse directed from the public coffers into the public unions.
@TsugaC You are exactly right!! Everybody please read what one of the greatest liberal big government icons in American history, FDR, had to say about public sector unions. FDR, misguided liberal though he was, still displayed the integrity & patriotism to oppose what he knew would be terrible for the republic. Please read FDR's 1937 letter to Luther Steward. Case closed.
I remember Gov Walker talking to a group of special olympic athelets (you can see it on youtube). A group of 20 or so union memebers came dressed as zombies and stood in front of handicaped kids and adults... It was the most sickening example of union thugary I have ever seen. If I recall correctly, only Fox aired the video.
I'm not surprised that not one of them showed any remorse, socialists usually love the idea of eugenics, so who cares if a bunch of retards get offended, right?
Proud Wisconsinite & proud of Gov. Walker. Thank you for all of your hard work to save this great state. GOD Bless you, & I pray that you keep office for a long time & many others follow your leadership.
