Have you heard about how Gov. Walker promised to created 250,000 jobs? Instead he cut taxes for the rich & was the ONLY state to LOSE Jobs.
Well done....
Scott Walker – Killing Jobs Saved the State 1 Billion

Scott Walker’s master plan from the start of his term in office was just that; remove the people’s voice from the workplace, cut billions from education, cut social programs that feed the hungry and care for the ill, while at the same time, cut 2.3 billion in taxes for the wealthy because without them, the rest will die. The sickening statistics cannot be denied:
. 73 percent of school districts in the state reported cutting teachers this year
. The 1,446 teacher position cuts represents a 75 percent increase over similar reductions made last year
. 74 percent of school districts to cut staff, including the largest, exorbitant cuts made to reading, special education, career and technical education teachers
. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau projects that Scott Walker’s tax giveaways to the wealthiest 1% will cost Wisconsin more than $2.3 billion
. To pay for those giveaways, Walker raised taxes on seniors and working families by nearly $70 million. These increases include a $14 million increase by reducing the Homestead Tax Credit, affecting 247,000 homeowners and renters, and a $56.2 million increase on low-wage workers with children as a result of cuts to the Earned Income Tax Credit.
. In addition to raising taxes, Walker’s budget also increased fees by more than $133 million, $106 million of which came in the form of UW System tuition increases, making it harder for working families to afford college.
Something else to keep in mind as you see your family, friends and neighbors struggling to survive under Walkers rule, is that the pain they are feeling today has been mitigated, in part this year thanks to $82.3 million in funds provided by the Obama administration to offset such cuts on the state level: That money will not be available next year.
As for Scott Walker and his lockstep spin team telling Wisconsinites they can look at the bright-side by saying “You lost your job, home and family but the state saved 1 billion dollars”, they can go to hell, we will not be enslaved.
