You have it all wrong, Democrats and liberals are the ones who decided they can and should have both. On the backs of the taxpayers at that. Conservatives are the ones rallying for fewer services in exchange for cutting taxes so this economy can get back on track.

What war? The immutable fact is that there is no money. That fact dictates the outcome.

Perhaps the Koch bothers can give you a job mowing their lawns or cleaning their toilets.

No they don't.

If we had a federal property tax, you'd have a buncha dumbfk military veterans occupying your house.

Those retired teachers owe me nanny-teaching of my grandkids so long as they're taking up retirement residence in my home.

This is another issue that has sort of been glossed over. WI is going to default on its debt to the feds if this isn't taken care of ASAP. Part of that debt is due to being forced to pay extra unemployment since the feds decided to extend everything for so long, knowing full well there was no way to pay for it.

Or, you could just answer the question posed to you.

We know. Walker cut taxes for his supporters and benefactors. We all get it. Now teachers, firefighters, and police officers will have to pay the tab for Walker's kick backs to his supporters.

I can't wait for November.

Perhaps you could explain why anyone who needed a job should turn that down? Do you have any idea how many people started in entry level jobs and worked their way up?

Seems you're looking down your nose at a certain segment of the population. Elitist much?

Wow, the left's ugliness is displayed in all it's glory on this thread.

Typical liberal tactic of avoiding the heart of the matter while trying to create a diversion.

That LIE has already been exposed.

Is a debunked one-trick-pony the best the left can do?
