You thought the IRS was Bad? See what Wisconsin Republicans want to do with our Bank Accounts and Judges.

Another Republican Big Government idea to control our lives for our own good. It's also a way to bring the unemployment funds back into balance on the backs of the unemployed. Would I kid you?

While Republicans on a national level are outraged the IRS has too much power over our lives, Wisconsin Republicans are doing just the opposite, by putting in place the prying eyes of their own big government. They want to look into and freeze our bank accounts.

Raw Story: A law is advancing through the Wisconsin state legislature that would allow the government to peer into (the unemployed) their bank accounts and freeze them if they believe the account holder has received overpayments in their benefits. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the co-authors of the bill insist that the changes would be for workers’ own good. “This is to protect the workers and lessen the burden on employers who are paying all the bills,” said state Rep. Dan Knodl (R-Germantown).

This is all about the employers and not about “protecting” the employees. They really think we’re that dumb?

Big Government Republicans have written something so breathtakingly intrusive, that the following section of the bill should damn well scare the daylights out of even low information teabillies.

The bill mandates that banks and financial institutions must hand over the private account information of any people suspected by the government of receiving overpayments. In the event of overpayments, even those caused by government error or computer malfunctions, the government would be able to freeze and collect from the accounts of people receiving unemployment.

I really never thought I’d see this day roll around. And this from the party outraged the IRS is asking for too much information?

And if you thought Republicans were really trying to put people work, try this unrewarding, draw dropping bad idea on for size:

(Currently) people receiving educational or vocational training in order to qualify for a job can continue to receive unemployment benefits past their original expiration date. The new law would stop those payments.

And if all this wasn't enough...you know business has already won the game when they are now demanding training for judges to rule in their favor:

The bill also addresses the concerns of businesses which say that the state has not done enough to train judges on how to rule in disputes between companies and employees.
