What are you talking about? Teachers pay nothing towards their lavish life-time pensions.
What happened to Tom Barrett? He was level headed before. Now he is just on the teachers union war path. Win at any cost. sad.
OK, let's see the actual numbers for personal income tax revenue each year over the past five years. We don't need to see sales, business, gas, cigarette, beer/liquor or any other tax revenue. Just those from income. Where do we find it?
Are you saying that our teachers are unable or unwilling to teach because they took a little pay cut? I believe that they are more professional than that.
Yes. One Republican and a dozen Democrats stopped a billion dollar investment in our economy. It seems the Democrats have become the party of NO since they cannot compromise for the good of our state.
You may want to revisit the 2011 job numbers and look a little closer at the month by month breakdown. Then compare that to the exact date Walker's budget went into effect. It'll make yer last comment look a bit silly.
The tax revenues have been increasing. Remember the surplus that was just announced because revenue is up? See how it all is starting to make sense?
Don't you think that the cause of this may be the huge cuts to your local education system?
I thought it was an iron mine and a republican Senator stopped it.
Since when are job numbers any indication of a state's economic health? If you lose 10 good $20/hr jobs and replace them with 20 not so good $10/hr jobs, what have you gained? Yes, the job numbers look good, but the economy has not improved. Why not look at tax revenues? Wouldn't that be a better indicator? The state can't balance its budget because when people lose their jobs, they don't pay income taxes. As more people get good jobs, income tax revenues should increase. So, how did Wisconsin do over the past year? Did revenues increase, decrease or stay the same?
If this type of analysis is more accurate than it most certainly does provide a basis for conclusions about other states. If not then the numbers are bull.
What a load
You mean we can send him to Cali? Cool.
You mean those pensions (their money) that they were REQUIRED to pay into the system over many years as MANDATED by the state run Wisconsin Retirement System? And, which are now being withdrawn and spent to support jobs in your local community? Yes, those retired public workers ARE creating some of these jobs. Why is that a bad thing?
Hey dumb, dumb: JP Morgan Chase lost $2 billion on a group of transactions over the past year. And, on the other 99.9999% of their transactions over the past year the company made $26 billion! Why should Jamie Diamond have to resign???
