In all seriousness, are you really that obtuse?

I know your not suggesting that the recall effort is grass roots. So then, what is the benefit of pointing to outside influence for Walker?

"Yes the one guy who she may or may NOT have seen who sent $50". (emphasis added.) Funny how Walker and the rest of the RWNJ's keep running into people that fall perfectly into their narrative nee talking points.

2012-05-30T16:58:44.520-05:00

When the Walker campaign says that 76% of contributions to Walker are for $50 or less, I strongly suspect that what they're deceptively saying is 76% by number of contributions not by $ contributed. What percentage of total contributions did these bottom 76% of donors account for? I bet it is far, far less than 76%. I wish a reporter would ask Ms. Hooters that question when she starts robotically reciting her 76% script.

You were watching an experienced Congressman (Barrett) take apart a a failed university student (Walker), the honed and tempered blade chopping to pieces the flaking rusty poker. It was ugly or beautiful, depending on your sympathies for the poker.

That's what Walkerism comes down to: He has to rely on "paid volunteers." From out of state, yet. Maybe we should start spouting off about Out-of-State, Big Business Bosses trying to control Wisconsin.

I thought Act 10 wasn't a fiscal act, otherwise it shouldn't be law. Big Fitz can't make rules that ignore our Constitution, so I'm sort of hopeful that the courts will overturn this Act.
Instead of raising taxes $400 per person, Walker has cost my wife $6,000 a year in lost earnings. Pretty soon our town will be dead. We would have bought a house but for what Walker did to teachers. The sellers all voted for Walker and now they complain no one is buying. Duh.

Here is from the FAQ on your website

In the absence of factual hard numbers received from municipal sources, we are forced to calculate what we believe the 2011 figures to be.

So your saying you have no facts you are making all of these numbers up....

The reality is your assuming that the only way to work on the budget was ACT 10 and we all know that is not true. We also know that we have never had a "massive tax increase" and had we not started the year giving away $2.2 Billion in tax cuts to the members of WMC(who exert a major influence on policy in this state), we could have balanced our budget without forcing massive pay cuts on the middle class in this state.

As you see from this post and our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/WhatAct10HasCostMe

The real world consequences of ACT10 have been very devastating to Wisconsin families...

2012-05-30T07:23:19.192-05:00

Regardless of how you pull the numbers out of your arse, they are still not anywhere close to honest or accurate. Most people saw an increase in taxes and the ones that didn't see that rise saw a $20,000-30,000 cut in their property's assessed value.

O. Ricardo Pimentel called me once after I left a message on his machine a few years ago. He seemed surprised when I called the JS right wing. He says people always call up and claim the paper is left wing. I was sad that he wouldn't fess up to the obvious. I refuse to buy the paper from now on. My great hope is that Lisa Kaiser could get together a real competition to the JS.

Hi. I love your blog. I'm a little bummed I just found it though. However, you'd be wise to look up who your local business men are that you are supporting. There are a lot of vile business people in Wisconsin that are using the money you give them to put their boots on your neck. Food for thought.

2012-05-30T02:08:23.780-05:00

Your claim that we, iSaveWithAct10.com, does not tell you how we calculate your savings is incorrect. I don't know if this is because you would rather put out false information or if you simply missed it. The full description of our quite simple math is documented on the site, see the FAQ page. But the reality is that it is an average of 4 previous tax year collections applied to 2010 collections. It shows what 2011 would likely have looked like without Act 10, not what your 2011 tax bill was vs. 2010. Most of us saw a small savings there, for the first time in many years. But far more important, we avoided yet another massive tax increase.

Very good points in this article indeed. Thanks!

Over here in Illinois I watched as they went after Rod Blagojovich. Blago was so full of himself he would repeat to anybody who would listen "The don't have nothin'". Went on Letterman and told him. In the court room he was smug.Until just before the end and he realized he was cooked. Boy was he. 14 years is a long time. Give Scotty room to dig his own hole deeper. Judges take note.

See, cupcake, your confusion comes from lack of independent thought.

If you use the same system that Walker used to say Doyle had such a huge deficit, you find that Walker increased the deficit.

Unemployment is down because people moved out of state or simply gave up looking. Actual unemployment numbers show more people out of work.

No, the newest numbers from Philly, which just came out today, shows us still rock bottom.

If you're going to come here, you have to have the facts. You didin't so now you look as foolish as you really are.

2012-05-29T21:34:42.064-05:00

What state do you live in? (state of) confusion?
The deficit was projected in the billions when Walker took office. So bad Doyle did not even run for another term. Unemployment rate is down. And even your source in Philadelphia has left you looking for different predictions.
Better stick to the ad-hominem when it comes to Walker.
No, time for you to double up on the anti-depressant meds.
