A man pretending to be one of the Koch brothers prank calls the Governor.

When fake Koch suggests "planting some trouble-makers" in the protests Walker responds:

Well, the only problem, because we thought about that, my only gut reaction to that would be, right now, the lawmakers I've talked to have just completely had it with them. The public is not really fond of this. The teachers union did some polling and focus groups, I think, and found out that the public turned on them the minute they closed school down for a couple days. The guys we have left are largely from out of state, and I keep dismissing it in my press comment saying, 'eh, they're mostly from out of state.'"
[...]
I'm saying hey, 'we can handle this, people can protest, this is Madison, you know, full of the 60s liberals.' Let them protest. It's not going to affect us. And as long as we go back to our homes, and the majority of people are telling us we're doing the right thing, let them protest all they want.

property taxes went up in florida.  That effected everyone who has a house.  I'm out from under an upside down mortgage now and renting so that doesn't currently directly effect me, though it will in the future.  There haven't been any other increases that I'm aware of. 

What, you don't own a car?

Jeep wrangler actually.  It really likes gasoline.  but that's the price I pay for a 6 cylinder.

And how much of that price is gas tax?  And how does that effect shipping costs for things like food?

Property taxes have gone up to cover the reduction of title I spending.

State sales taxes (among plenty of other taxes) have gone up to cover reductions in road spending, police spending, etc.

County and municipal taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc, have gone up.

But at least those poor rich people have caught a break.  They have a hell of a time.

[LMNO]

Payroll taxes have gone up, too.


Good thing most of the elite rich don't actually receive a salary, per se.  Did you know commisions from hedge fund profits are tax exempt, even if they earn millions?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Teach you to need an income.

That said, I don't mind paying my share.  I overpaid the government all year, and got some back.


I just want those who benefitted the most from this country to give back to the system that allowed them to get so fucking rich.

Well, so do the teabaggers and the libertards.

It's just that they want the rich to give back in exactly the same proportion as the poor.

This would require a tax rate that would drive the middle class into the working class, the working class into the lower class, and the lower class under a bridge.

I don't want to live under a bridge.

Oh fucking Christ.

Oh my God, that was funny. Those union types deserve getting their communist collective bargaining deal ripped out from under them after living so high on the hog for so long.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What pains me so much about that comment is he didnt even spout the lie that the the bill had anything to do with budget cuts. He knew what it was about, he honestly thinks giving unions the right to bargain their contract is a bad idea.

HE THINKS UNIONS WITHIN THEMSELVES ARE COMMUNIST AND ARE A BAD IDEA.

Also that comment was in the "Highest Rated Comments" section.
