This amazing message from the conservative business community in Waukesha is jaw dropping and stunning. Sometimes I think “people” are just as “in the way” as government. Taking our first born isn’t too far away…
Patch: The question of how do we — as a country — create more jobs came to Brookfield Tuesday afternoon as 15 small business leaders from the Milwaukee area met with Republican U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner.
The overall message was clear: lower corporate taxes; ease government regulations; get tough on illegal immigration while expanding the number of visas; change the college-focused culture; and reduce unemployment benefits.
And you thought I was exaggerating? Oh, it gets even more brutal:
Mary Springer, vice president of Therm-Tech of Waukesha, opened the discussion by telling the legislators to reduce unemployment benefits, and to require training and drug testing for those receiving the benefits.
Mary Springer "Scrooge" would make the unemployed desperate enough to take any scraps thrown their way, even lower wages and little or no benefits. Sounds like Springer wants to expand government into the lives of unemployed Americans too.
Machining company owners asked the government officials to reduce mining, energy and air quality regulations, which they described as squeezing businesses out of business and forcing layoffs. But a representative of Cooper Power Systems in Waukesha said the standards on electrical efficiency were helping his business. He just wanted to see Department of Energy guidelines to remain reasonable and open for discussion.
Hey, standards are helping his business…how did he get in there?
