WISCONSIN GOV. SCOTT WALKER PREPS FOR 2016 WHITE HOUSE RUN BY PROVING GOVERNMENT CANT DO ANYTHING

RIGHT


Man, anti-union free market capitalism ain’t what it used to be. A few years ago, rightwing hero and prolific union-h8r Scott Walker soared into the governorship of Wisconsin with the slogan, “Wisconsin Is Open for Business.” Within a few months, he was wiping corporate jizz off his chin after ramming through right-to-work legislation and sticking it to the unions. After surviving a recall election, just how is business doing in Wisconsin?

Since he [Walker] took office, his state has fallen from 11th to 44th in job creation.

What’s the deal, businesses? Didn’t you see the big sign saying Wisconsin was open for business? Why are you all “wham-bam-dick-over-the-unions-thank-you-ma’am” to Scott Walker?

But just because Scott Walker will fail miserably at his promise to bring hundreds of thousands of jerbs to Wisconsin doesn’t mean he is a total failure. Surely there is some good news, right? With unions all busted, the free market is jumping in, and the invisible hand is enticing workers with high wages, stellar benefits, and all kinds of goodness, right?

Wisconsin’s wages are also declining at twice the national level.

...we elected someone who attended a prestigious university (Marquette University) for 4 years and couldn't earn an Associates Degree in Arts and Science.
...who sold warranties, for IBM or fund raised for the Red Cross, as his only private sector jobs.
...Never served in the military, but did appoint a vet to head the County Veterans Service Commission. Who promptly conspired to rip off the charity Military Order of the Purple Heart.

The list goes on, but depresses me.

Scott Walker however can reach into the tiniest corners of wisconsin with his slimy tendrils. And apparently Walker is jacking with womens health issues, so no douches.

But on the other hand he is the chairman of the very powerful House Budget Committee. Plenty of toxins with both of them.
