Scott Walker is blocking any raise in the $7.25 minimum wage - - which he believes is a living wage - - and where Walker also raised taxes on low-income residents in his first budget - - an ugly reality enabled by Walker and his legislative allies who made obscenely profitable and predatory lending in Wisconsin even more usurious:
Trump rhetoric is mean and brutal.
Walker's policies and programs are mean and brutal - - "#TrumpForReal.
It was Walker who picked and ran self-servingly with the "midwestern nice" label - - a notion I exposed earlier.

If anyone thinks Walker is 'Midwestern Nice', wait till they see the racist cartoons and jokes that Walker and his staff shared on his secret email server when he was County Executive.
ReplyDeleteShoot, just read the angry, partisan.BS spouted by the "Scott Walker" Twitter feed vs the "Midwestern nice" Governor Walker one. It's almost like he has a split personality
