Make the 1% pay their share of taxes!

What is their share Lee? Spread the wealth around some more? How much extra do you donate to the WDR every year? Set an example here man up.

Lee, still waiting

No need to cut services this year. Look how much is saved by not having to plow and salt the roads because of the mild winter WI is experiencing. Thank the Lord for that!....and making the recall petition goal X 2!!!!!!

Cynthia...Looks like Alan is in support of layoffs for plow drivers. We can always call them into work and halt their unemployment if it snows- then lay them off again.
Guess Alan is a teacher and only cares about HIS benefits.

Can we start with the lying lip service?

Maybe somebody else should just pay for everything for you Lee - wouldn't that be nice?

Well Ian - you sound young so may I suggest you do some research on the history of unions.

Yeah! I don't want to have people challenge my ideas or require me to think I just want them to have to listen my stupid rantings. Is that so much to ask? WHOOO!!! MURICA!!!

Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?

I will not even respond to that nonsense. grow up. likely i am much older than you. debate the issues, not individuals.

Walker was all over national TV and radio today speaking like the strong leader he is.

No he doesn't. Why do you guys just make up crap? Oh right seeing success and proving liberalism is a failure is against the cause.

That's no way to talk about your grandparents. How disrespectful!

Good question. So far my the decrease to my taxes has been negligible, and that's with my house and land dropping to 3/4 of their former value.

As for Doyle being anit-business, I would have thought BadgerCare Plus was a boon to Wisconsin business -- removing the burden of healthcare coverage from those struggling small (and not so struggling small) businesses. Watch hospital fees and insurance premium rise to make up for the new influx of people who will get sick and be unable to pay their bills because the state 'got tough' on those 'moochers'.

Randy would rather his taxes increase every year instead of stay the same or go down.

Steve, Randy would prefer your taxes go up and his go down. He'd also like to see his property taxes adjusted to reflect his yearly income. I'm sure if there are any other things Randy would like done for him that I've missed, he'll be sure to spell them out for us.

Funny how the party of "no" thinks they "know" what anyone thinks & loves to put words in other people's mouths. Makes them feel superior I suppose.

Walker, I was merely restating some stuff Randy's said here in the past. He thinks businesses (like those owned by Steve) should be paying higher taxes and he's got this idea that somehow his property taxes aren't fair because they stay essentially the same despite his income fluctuating.

We do know. It's easy knowing what a hypocrite liberal will say and has said in the past. It's always the same and has been for years.

Whereas Bob McBride and Steve would rather see their taxes go down and mine go up. I think that's understood.

Actually Randy I'd be more than happy to see yours go down as well. I just don't think you're going to get your wish as regards an income adjusted property tax.

Down for everyone. Cut pointless services and entitlements. More of your hard earned money staying in your pocket, increasing personal and business spending. More private services and products from that money that provide better service at better rates.

@Steve-- what services and entitlements do you consider to be pointless? A fire department that shows up before your house burns to the ground? Public education (because not every family can afford a private or charter school, even with vouchers)? Unemployment insurance that keeps you from going under when your plant automates and your job is gone?

Even those hated 'welfare' and 'food stamps'? Without them, you had better invest in a good home security system.

You guys always say that about the handouts. Fact is you create leaches with these programs because they never end. Even unemployment insurance now has a longer free ride. The more you give ou the less people will work for it on their own.

The fire and police argument is silly this cost to taxpayers has always been paid. All of these extra handout programs and expanded governemnt we have been doing in the late 90's and early 2000's came to a point. The point was we ran out of other people's money. Time to cut back and let the taxypayer keep more, spend more and provide for themselves as a collective group.

So it's really only unemployment insurance, food stamps and Medicaid you want to cut, Steve? By the way, it's 'leeches'.

The last time anyone in my family made use of unemployment insurance was back in the early 1990s. And it's true, the shorter it lasts the more willing you are to settle for underemployment. That's good for business, because it exerts a downward pressure on wages and benefits.

I've never used food stamps or Medicaid and never would.

You're being too general here. Downtown train, train to Madison, silly green projects the list can go on. They waste all of this taxpayer money, usually borrowed, on senseless projects that are not funded especially during a socialist recession. IT's never enough, got to keep spending and spending and spending.
