I don't know if Republican politicians want to go where Romney is taking them, but we'll see.
Romney: "I don't think the taxpayer should be paying more, so that people in government can have a better deal."Back in 2010, "Wisconsin state legislators receive an annual salary of $49,943 per year. Legislators receive a per diem of $88 per day.
Isn't it about time legislators start feeling the pain and lack of benefits we're suffering in the private sector? In many cases, legislators don't even have the educational background or training to qualify as a competent lawmaker or for their high pay.
Paul Ryan modestly assumes he would never get the opportunity to be someones VP choice. Aw shucks Paul, anyone as sociopathic and as you has nothing to worry about.
Yes, but also, let's call Romney on his willingness to advance the inaccurate Walker/GOP meme that public employees in Wisconsin earn too much. That's been studied and -- even before he whacked state worker compensation by five or more percentage points -- those workers often earned noticeably less than their private sector counterparts. The GOP noise machine ignores its lies and just keeps on repeating them.
