Of course, they would have to pee in a cup but what's a little pee when you could have a job that pays close to what? $15/ hour? Maybe half or less of what they are getting at Kimberly-Clark. And they lose their pensions and most of their benefits. <br /><br />Yeah Wisconsin, government that works for you - or at least for the corporations that contribute to Walker and the GOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-53167250541398743952018-02-05T19:34:41.281-06:002018-02-05T19:34:41.281-06:00There are plenty, kid.

And make the rich and corporate pay their fair share, which discourages profit-hoarding and gambling on the stock market over actually MAKING A PRODUCT. <br /><br /> Just because you rely on lame talking points, it doesn't mean that there aren't liberal ideas on the economy out there. And they all work better than the failed, trickle-down garbage Walker promotes.

I don't see any suggestions from the liberal democrats for a solution. Walker's idea might not be the best solution, but do the liberal have any solutions?

Instead, they were again asleep at the wheel. How come? Too tied up with the Fox-con? Or did Kimberly-Clark not donate to the cause, so the WEDC slush fund didn't care to listen?<br /><br /> Lastly, Kimberly-Clark pays near-zero state taxes due to the M&A giveaway, and just got a huge tax break from DC. Why are we offering more help to them instead of improving job training and community quality of life?Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.com
