Once again for Scott Walker, he's not making tough choices, he's making bad choices. Today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel PolitiFact finds that Gov. Walker, who ran his campaign on an ironclad commitment to veto any and all new tax increases, has already broken that promise. But raising taxes on the poor in Wisconsin while cutting taxes for the wealthy and his campaign contributors is exactly what Gov. Walker is proposing to do.
In fact, Gov. Walker does intend to raise taxes. Instead of asking for shared sacrifice from corporate CEOs, Gov. Walker wants to raise taxes on those who are already struggling to make ends meet in this tough economy, the poor.
According to the report, Walker wants to slash the program Ronald Reagan once called “the best anti-poverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation measure to come out of Congress.”
Instead of asking for shared sacrifice from corporate CEOs or wealthy donors who he's appointing to implement his extreme economic agenda, Walker wants to raise taxes on those who are already struggling to make ends meet in this tough economy -- low-income beneficiaries of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
“Gov. Walker talks tough about being a politician who refuses to raise taxes,” said Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. “He thought we wouldn’t notice his tax increase trick to raise taxes on the poor while cutting taxes for corporations. By reducing programs that low income families rely on such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Homestead Act, Gov. Walker is redistributing the tax burden onto the backs of working Wisconsinites.”
"The fact that Scott Walker wants to slash a program that Ronald Reagan called one of the best in history shows how truly extreme and out-of-touch he and his allies in the legislature have become,” added Bloomingdale.
so what do the working class tea baggers think now?????
