WI--under Walker budget cuts UW Madison may be forced to increase tuition by 20%
(first the Unions now going after the University system)

UW-Madison could be forced to raise tuition by 20 percent over the next two years if the state cuts $50 million from the university's budget — one scenario laid out in a memo from UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin to Gov. Scott Walker's administration.

The memo outlines how UW-Madison could separate from the rest of the University of Wisconsin System, giving the state's flagship university more freedom from state oversight to set tuition, make personnel decisions, purchase goods and construct buildings.

1. Walker passed a bill which gave Businesses and Corporations
140 Million dollars in Taxcuts. This means l40 Million
that will not come in to the Wisconsin Treasury.

How very interesting?? He is crying (at presser) We will
have a 149 Million shortfall. I cannot ask the Middle
Class to pay for the Public Workers Pensions and Benefits.
They will leave Wisconsin. People you have to learn to
speak Republican. When Republican say middle class they
are really speaking of the Have Mores. Think about it.
How many people making 50K or under do you know who would
just pick up and leave a state because they do not like
the tax law. Only rich people, in fact, Limbaugh picked
up and left NYC over Millionnaires tax. I do not want to
lay people off so I must take away the bargaining power
of Unions. Unions are Middle Class. Again today a Republican
from Wisconsin said, we cannot ask Middle Class to pay
more taxes.(Guys, translated---We will not ask the rich
to pay more taxes.

To the average person who does not understand Republican
Speak, he sounds --oh so concerned for the Middle Class.
Have Mores I know call themselves Middle Class. This is
how Republicans do the GOD GUNS GAYS and ABORTION to
hang on to Blue Collars while making them think they have
their financial interest at heart. No Democrat has
mad the effort to put a stake through this "big lie".
