While Im unemployed in WI (full time) I still work part time. Now I have been watching the news and I must tell you about Gov. Walkers Jedi Move. The first night I saw the tv he came out and said to the world how workers in Mfg. have to pay more than teachers and yada yada yada...The thing is I agreed with him. He was very good at waving his hands in front of my face on the tv and saying "you will agree with me".... SHIT what's that? I was Jedi Moved......
Ah but then people started protesting and some more things came out and even more on the Governers personality. The totally cool thing is now people are really seeing it for what its worth and that is another hit on the middle class...
Politicians are very good at spitting out numbers and leaning your thoughts in another way. Be not so quick to think my grasshopper.....wait a few days and go back on a subject and rethink it....
What I got to thinking about is wow...more money out of the Average Joe's pocket. Right now I'm unemployed and I have to put my kids on Bader Care. The Governor may want to cut that and you know what? Even if I was working I would want other kids the opportunity to have some health coverage if their parents were out of work.
How about we go to the people right (who make 200K+) and say I need back taxes on a bill that we want to pass where you have to 20K by next month....They would fricken flip and maybe move out of state to avoid this.
My point is just because some idiots spent the money (for WI in the last budgets) does not mean you have to come back on the middle class (especially about 1500 workers by April) and try and get money from them? Like what the far fen ugen?....is 1500 teachers salaries going to fix the billion dollar deficit? I THINK NOT>>>>>>>.........
Buck up Governor your losing your grip. Your turning Independents like me into Democrats and that is powerful stuff for the next election.......Had the Democrats not held out I would have known nothing about this....And I'm sure you would have passed this bill very easily using the Jedi Mind Trick....
Best of Luck....

It's the Democrats that got your state into such debt that cuts have to be made now. Sounds just like what Obama's doing on a federal level-spend,spend,spend, let somebody else pay for the mess later!
