Didn't Walker give back some of his pay when he worked for Milwaukee County?
Yet he's being attacked as a bad guy. He gave back his own money. And he sure didn't have to.
And "Michael Moore". How many millions has he made with his B.S. movies? He's one of the rich guys, isn't he? So who is he to bitch and moan?
And listing the top 20 richest people in America......how does that somehow disallow what i said about rich Hollywood types?
I also keep hearing how the cuts are attacking all of the "middle class". How exactly? It affects public workers, for sure. But it's not like it makes them work for minimum wage with no benefits, does it?
And calling him a "dictator". He said what he was gonna do before he got elected, and now is (unlike most politicians) DOING what he said he was gonna do. The majority of Wisconsinites stand with him. But the minority shows up at the capital, (along with Jesse "i never met a microphone i didn't like") Jackson, they make a big fuss, and they get all the liberal media eatting out of their hands.
In the past, when the democrats had control, they pushed through what THEY wanted. Yet the republicans never ran away and hid. They STILL did their jobs.....unlike the 14 dem senators that hid out in Illinois.
Look at ex-governor Doyle. Over and over, the people of Wisconsin let him know they wanted a concealed gun carry law passed. Yet he (as a TRUE dictator) wouldn't do what the majority of Wisconsinites wanted.
Always ignoring the FACT that the BAD GUYS, you know, the ones you don't want carrying guns, ARE ALREADY CARRYING. It would allow lab-abiding citizens to carry.
But hey, Doyle always did what HE wanted, not what thye people wanted.

The state budget needs to be balanced. Walker is the FIRST one actually trying to do so.
It's about time.

Walker will cut the sum he gives back from $60,000 annually to $10,000. He said he's already returned a great deal - some $360,000 by the end of the month - and will have upped that to a total of $400,000 by the end of the next term.

The job pays $129,611 a year, a sum that won't change in the next term.

Walker volunteered to give back $60,000 of that per year when he was first elected in 2002

Can you find an article/quote/clip or anything from his campaign where he stated he would abolish unions?

Governor-elect Scott Walker raised the possibility of essentially abolishing state employee unions on Tuesday as one option to control rising employee benefits costs and eliminate the state's budget deficit.

Longtime-
musccy asked for a quote from during his campaign, your quote is from December, when he was already governor elect. Had he even hinted at union busting during his campaign he would have been crushed.

People have to start wising up to the fact that this in all reality has nothing to do with Scott Walker, he's the gun, somebody else pulled the trigger.

right is right & wrong is wrong - balance the budget off your own salary instead of taking more & more rights away from the people who put you in office & pay taxes. take the party lines out of it & think for yourself people! stop being a pawn for your party.

If we win this battle, and the money is not there under the auspices of the unions, certainly what youre going to find is President Obama is going to have a much difficult, much more difficult time getting elected and winning the state of Wisconsin.
