Read the statistics from Wisconsin since Walker became governor..
No unions, public schools defunded, privatization, cut backs and elimination of social programs, some of the worst roads, in the nation, no real job creation, fired all the scientists at the DNR.....We got it all funded by the Kochs..

Ask anyone here about any of those items on Koch platform.. They are all, every one of them, espoused by the GOP here.

It isn't as simple as that. I have even seen you post some of the other factors contributing to the downfall of democracy in Wisconsin.
