Madison Wisconsin Budget Protest Movement

cinderbelle319 | February 19, 2011

I don’t feel that national news has been giving accurate coverage of the rallies in Madison, WI, so I’m here to tell you what people are REALLY protesting about. Hint: it’s not about pay-cuts.

Here’s the Legislative Fiscal Bureau Memo:

Source for the $140 Million in tax breaks:

And if you think that’s not bad enough, consider this: 2/3 of corporations in WI don’t pay any taxes AT ALL. Where do YOU think the money should be coming from?

  2. What an interesting piece of intentional lies and misinformation this 22 year old is going on about. She represents everything that is causing gridlock in this country. Repeating lies and talking points her elders have given her. HELLO, would you buy stocks or bonds from a 22 year old? Then don’t buy this line of crap from this “highly experinced” 22 year old. The real issue with needing to put controls on public unions is that there is no one with any power sitting accross the “bargaining table”. The union bosses make up higher and higher demands and their is no one to press back against it: “Well you scare me, I don’t want to be on TV as against you, but of course I get this money from the taxpayers, same as my pay, so… ok, where do I sign?” Wisconsin and the taxpayers of this republic can’t afford to let this larceny continue. It is absolutely imperative we shut up liberal misinformants like this 22 year old idealist.

    • One is left wondering how you intend to “shut up” “idealists”.
