Why this is a win-win for Walker
If he's recalled, he'll end up in the private sector, where he'll cut wages, layoff staff and outsource jobs. And they'll pay him handsomely for it. Voting is a suckers game. The criminals get voted out of office and "we the people" think we have exercised our rights. Meanwhile, the scum just become lobbyists or CEOs and pick up right where they left off in office.

Justice = Money. Only the rich have justice and they can do any damn thing they want.

1. I'd rather have the sucker out of politics period.
I can't worry about what he'll do later.

2. Well there's nothing we can do about his life out of politics is there?
But the people can sure do something about his life in politics.

3. I don't give a rat's ass about Walker and his cushy future. I care about the workers.
I get where you're coming from, and agree. But I won't waste a moment's time on Walker's lucrative future. He's set for life, but he is wrecking thousands of families.

Well after all, that IS what Republicans do.

5. Pssst - c'mere
FUCK Walker.

I want him OUT as a public official. I don't want him making decisions or setting policy on the local, state, or federal government level.

What the private sector finds for him is another matter to be dealt with by others.

6. I thought the same thing.... another from the same mold as SP.
He won't make it to a 2nd term...he will resign or be recalled and go on to make millions off the people that support his ideas.

8. Well, why don't we all just lie down and die.
Nothing like gutless defeatism.

Ever heard of the robber barons? They didn't have any taxes to pay. They paid horrific wages. What happened next? Go get an education and find out.

9. Unrecommend for "Voting is a suckers game.".
Spreading apathy and political nihilism has never changed anything.

14. Fine by me
I didn't expect this to be popular. I believe that democracy in America has become theatre. I will continue to believe that until the money is removed from our election system.

10. He's proven himself incompetent. SUCCESSFUL politicians get jobs as consultants

11. Was Walker expelled from a University for cheating?
Was Walker punked by a telephone prankster?

I'd never hire him.

12. Stinkin thinkin gone wild.
Where is there a private sector job where Walker would have as much access to power and money as he does as governor of Wisconsin? There is no such job.

13. "There is no such job."
Then again, we don't really know how much the Koch brothers would pay him to be their cabana boy.
