Pawlenty, "A former union member himself, Pawlenty has often spoken out about labor issues in the past, and his eagerness to insert himself into the controversy is indicative of his capacity to seize upon a local issue that has quickly morphed into a national ideological debate, while maintaining his blue-collar bona fides."

This guy would be a crossdresser if he thought it would benefit HIM. WAKE UP!!!

As economist Dean Baker points out, the tax increase "only needs to be temporary, since the state budget should be fine once the economy recovers." Business tax cuts in Wisconsin in recent years have reduced the share of state revenues provided by corporate taxes to almost half the level of 20 years ago. By one measure, from the pro-corporate Council on State Taxation, our business tax burden ranks 12th-lowest in the country.

Hang in there Scott Walker...you're doing the right thing by helping the private sector---the ones who drive the economy forward.

@tangolas

You obviously don't understand the differences between public and private unions.

[paladinbail]

I'm taking inspiration from the not-at-work teachers. I work for myself (just me, I am all departments). It's been slow & I haven't paid myself in a long while- so I've decided to angrily protest at my customers instead of going out to look for more work. Oh. wait- That'd be stupid! Maybe I'll unionize myself against myself. No, that's dumb too. Maybe I'll give myself Tenure & tell everyone it adds value to the service I provide them when it doesn't. Nah... Don't know what to do?

@ratsnacage1

So, YOU "sift through lies"? First off, using the term "economic slavery" insults all of the captured, exploited& mistreated honorable people that were really and literally used as slaves. Your comparison is horrible. When a person goes to work in Sept, then gets a week off in Oct. two weeks off 4 Christmas then 2more off 4 Easter w/all weekends&Holidays off in between. It comes out 2 180 days. That's half a year. W/full pay, benefits. And the kids CAN'T READ. Got an answer4 that?

@fergus610

Yup, you are right. Can't agree w/you more. Say, I have a question for you. Being that a few years ago the Democrats rammed through the bill to raise the amount of $ going to schools, for each child, from 5K to 10K without a vote. And so it was done. Now, if the teachers, who "work" 180 days out of the year are totally in charge of the children AND THEY ARE. How come the kids "graduating" from 8th grade CANT READ? Why are they so stupid, dumb, idiots, functional illiterates? Hmmmmnnn

[btwall60]

This is the Johnny Cochran way of doing things. The Democrats are doing what should now be known as Election Nullification. The Democrats are the "Mob Rule" Party. When they win, as in the past two years, they do WIN, but when they lose and lose BIG they still not only want to win, they use the tactics of a Coup. Their so-called "leaders" literally run away to stall the vote, then, their thugs are called in to lie, intimidate, threaten, bully, stone wall&get the media to lie for themFleebaggers

[fergus610]

He has a $143 million shortage, yet he gave tax breaks of $137 million to corporations. So then he had only a $6 million shortage before the corporate tax cuts. Then the public workers should only be responsible for $6 million according to my arithmetic. Hhhhmmmm....

@Chortlingtortoise How did he betray your state? Hmm>? Care to share? Because he feels as many of us do throughout the entire U.S that Unions are nothing more than a bank for the democratic party. We pay taxes, those taxes in turn pay SEIU employees, who in turn pay Union dues to the SEIU. Who, in turn sends most of those due to the DNC! So, even if I am not a member of the SEIU I end up paying my taxes to the DNC with no choice in the matter! Along with all in the U.S that pays taxes!
