WI Governor's Fake Budget Crisis: Gave Tax Breaks to Wal-Mart to Further Real Agenda -- Union Busting

So they lowered taxes, probably so the businesses would stick around, and also to help them compete against the unionized labor.

While not an optimal solution to the economic woes of the state, it is probably a better solution than doing nothing.


I got the article from a debate in a local online publication from a story about our local issues with state employee pensions. Here is how it went:




tabatha -

Re Wisconsin for the fact-deficient.:

"There is no fiscal crisis in Wisconsin. Governor Walker reports a nearly 130 million dollar deficit, but doesn't report that he caused it by giving a 140 million dollar tax break to large multinational corporations here in Wisconsin (e.g. WalMart). However, this cover story gives him an excuse to do the unthinkable."

Manufactured crisis by the truly heartless, money grubbers.




Me -

tabatha, as much as I despise Walmart, and trust me I despise them as much as anyone, Walmart is better at feeding, clothing and providing services to people than a government building full of government workers.. I'll take the Walmart, please.
