Wisconsin vs Total Recall

Not at all the same thing. Read an in depth analysis of trickle down economics, and then tell me when we've ever done all the steps needed to fulfill the building blocks. Not once have we ever cut spending. At most, we've occasionally cut the growth rate, but it's never actually been cut. That reduction in spending is a BIG part of the theory that's never going to be politically viable because it's too easy to score sympathy points by those who don't understand it. We've never had trickle down economics.

Yet, the entire system is trickle down because the only ones that benefit from it are in the top 1%. And they're also the biggest whiners.

This is rich, coming from a proponent of a fiscal philosophy that throughout the 80s and 90s bribed public support with lower taxes, all the while chucking that the rubes didn't realize that via debt and curtailment of public programs they were cutting their own throats.

The cake is a lie, dude. Trickle down is deader than David Stockman's belief in the tooth fairy.

Oh, and all through the 70s and 80s the most common refrain in the coffee houses was "Marxism works -- it's just never been truly put in practice."

Wisconsin Assembly passes Right to Work. Goes to Gov. Walker who will sign it on Monday.
Vote was on party lines with 1 Dem. not voting.

Probably because he refuses to increase public sector jobs...

That might be the case, Shirtless, though he knew his policies coming in and his projections were off the chart compared to performance. They all promise more than they can deliver, but he's been extraordinarily bad in matching his job production promises. When you figure he's been extremely business friendly in matters such as regulation and environmental protection, you would think those concessions would be matched by job production.

You would but economics is a fickle thing...look at how many businesses stay in Minnesota despite the unfavorable taxes...
 
Re: Wisconsin vs Total Recall

I wonder how all the police officers and firefighters feel now. They stuck with Walker right from the start because he let them remain union employees when he $hit-canned it for all other government employees. Come Monday morning, he'll pull the rug out from under them too. It's just a shame they trusted him.

If they didn't see that one coming from a mile away, that's on them.

Then look at Medtronic.

Medtronic wasn't a state tax issue, but a federal one. However, Honeywell made a point of telling the state that it was the tax structure here as the main driver for the company taking its HQ out east. That was a long time ago, though, might have been when Arnie Carlson was governor.

Actually, they didn't. Only the state police who were in Walker's back pocket.

There were firefighters at the protests even though they wren't targeted at the time.


The ones I'm laughing at are the salt of the earth types who supported this guy and voted for him 3 times. Many are now like, wait... what?

Again... YOUR boy... YOU voted for him.
