Wisconsin protest has lost a LOT of steam

[traveler52]

That poor...poor fixelies reporters. He had to hear "Fox News Lies!!!" (that is truth. fixedlies does in fact lie. brietfart is a liar. o'keef is a liar. beckie is a liar. o'lielly is a liar the list is endless).

The fixedlies reporter was never hit, never kicked, never punched. He was in a crowd of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Pro-Union Supporters, while the Kock Suckers were only able to BUS IN Two Thousand (2,000) people.

In a crowd that large, there is a certain amount of un-intentional jostling as the people move, that is what happended. The fact that he was touched is NOT a story. The fact that this dip stick thinks he was attacked is pathetic.

Tax the Rich:

"But across the border from Wisconsin in Minnesota, Democratic Governor Mark Dayton has proposed an alternative idea: Raise taxes on the rich to help close the budget gap.

"Dayton's budget plan would increase taxes to 10.95 percent on Minnesota families earning over $150,000 a year (or single adults earning more than $85,000). He would also add an additional 3 percent surtax on the superrich - those earning more than $500,000 - for the next 3 years.

"Even raising taxes on the rich to these levels would only cut Minnesota's budget deficit in half, and Dayton has also proposed cutting the state workforce by 6 percent and removing 7,200 childless adults from Minnesota Care, moves that should be fought by progressives.

"Nevertheless, Dayton's 'Tax the Rich' plan shows that there is nothing inevitable about the limited option of breaking public unions proposed by Scott Walker and some other GOP governors.

"If a similar tax hike on the rich were proposed in Wisconsin, it would raise $600 million, far more than the savings to be had from Walker's assault on public workers."

Tax the Rich:

that will only work if "the rich" are foolish enough to stay in Min and take it

you can bet that business will head over the board and employ people in WI and not have to pay those extra taxes
so Minn workers lose their jobs and the state will have even LESS revenue


ROFLMAO
yeah, thats such a great plan
democrats are fucking idiots

What's "foolish" about asking Minnesota residents earning over $500,000/year to pay their fair share of taxes?

Since the late 1970s their percentage of national income has risen from about 9% to over 23% today.

It's quite a credit to your level of indoctrination that you believe it "foolish" for those who've captured an additional 14% of total income over the last three decades to compensate by paying a 3 percent surtax over the next three years.

And Democrats should be blamed for every single one of those pink slips. If they had not run like children, stayed and voted, those pink slips would not have gone out.

Democrats are costing the middle class jobs. It's on their shoulders. The R governor found a way to afford these employees without layoffs or higher taxes, but Dem's cried like children about it. Now? Pink slips in the mail. Good job Dems.

"you are making me do this to you"

Sure...they are going to buy that

Extra taxes on the rich sounds so easy, doesn't it? Unfortunately it seldom pencils out the way it was planned. New Jersey is a perfect example. They implemented a "half millionaires" tax in 2004- Pitched by the state's unions as the cure for Jersey's budget woes, the state collected $9.5 billion in personal income taxes in fiscal 2005. In 2009 - five budget cycles later, the state collected only $9.4 billion. What happened? The rich left! People are mobile- the wealthy even more so, they can pack up and move. When state taxes become too high, that's exactly what they do.

Where in the Constitution does it say that municipal employees have the right to extort every last dime from a destitute state? Republicans are ensuring the rights of middle class citizens and everyone else to fairly bargain with municipal employees unions.

Where in the Constitution does it say that public sector employees should be relegated to 2nd class citizens who can never aspire to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as their private counterparts?

Where in the Constitution does does it say that a governor has the right to pick and choose which public sector unions he/she wishes to recognize (police, firefighters) and not recognize (teachers)?

If the "collective bargaining" of public service unions is the root cause of state government debt, why would 8 of the 13 states that currently don't engage in collective bargaining have state deficits greater than Wisconsin?
