They are not taking the time to fight the "thieves" that make up our public sector in Wisconsin. They've got to get off the couch and clearly state they are not going to take it any longer.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833071037497201119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-67754882282195410192007-11-13T15:51:00.000-06:002007-11-13T15:51:00.000-06:00Hi Russ - You're absolutely right but who cares......Hi Russ - <BR/><BR/>You're absolutely right but who cares...people are for using, abusing, robbing and discarding...isn't that the picture you get of things today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-85820473813283209832007-11-13T14:47:00.000-06:002007-11-13T14:47:00.000-06:00Hey anonymousYou're right, facts are ignored all t...Hey anonymous<BR/><BR/>You're right, facts are ignored all the time, but property tax bills aren't.<BR/><BR/>Increasing property tax bills for those homeowners with low household incomes to pay retirement benefits for government workers is wrong. <BR/><BR/>That method of increasing government revenue can best be described as "trickle up" economics.

The public sector politicians, unions, and employees know it, but they don't care. They continue to demand, and receive, yearly compensation increases.<BR/>The result is an endless transfer of wealth from the private sector to the public sector. This fact will not change unless the Milwaukee County private sector taxpayers rise up and demand change.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833071037497201119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-91511205531992792332007-11-13T08:19:00.000-06:002007-11-13T08:19:00.000-06:00testtestRusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833071037497201119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-30747203816687196402007-11-12T21:35:00.000-06:002007-11-12T21:35:00.000-06:00Liberals like capper and Jay will never admit gove...Liberals like capper and Jay will never admit government failure. They have constituencies to demogogue to. To say that Democratic power brokers screwed the very constituents that they "care" about is not an option.<BR/>They people and programs they support screw the people they purport to care about, but they are too invested in liberal ideology to see themselves for what they are.
