Scott Walker is a really bad guy. I mean, awful. So, there will be chance to dump this scar next year. And here’s the route.
If a sense that inequality is really a nagging issue among a lot more people, Walker is about as ripe a target as there is, certainly when it comes to what he has done with taxes, as the Citizens for Tax Justice points out:
This year alone he signed legislation that both cut property taxes and reduced income tax rates in a way that does little for Wisconsin’s neediest residents – the opposite, actually. In fact, the budget he introduced in 2011 was called a betrayal of Wisconsin values by the Center on Wisconsin Strategy and other public interest groups because he ultimately approved legislation that reduced the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), thus increasing taxes on the state’s poorest working families. That budget also included $2.3 billion in tax breaks over a decade, in the form of a domestic production activities credit, two different capital gains tax breaks for the rich, and a variety of new sales tax exemptions, including for snowmaking and snow grooming equipment.
Tax breaks for the rich, screw the working poor…ah, yes, a mixture that, used right, could dethrone this beast.
