Then, REMEMBER UNIONS IN WI !!! Unions misbehavior at Capital...PulSe of WI_ Was the TEA that were suppose to be violent !!!

1. Repeal near all legislation passed under obama.

2. Speaker plan lowers spending more than increasing debt ceiling.

3. Democrat House has not passed a budget in 800 days. Time to DO THEIR JOB. Make hard decessions.

4. Debt reduction not debt increase. obama's $$$ 9.5 Trillion new debt budget is OUT. Like obama needs to be. Guy still using drugs ???

5. “According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Bush tax cuts actually shifted the total tax burden farther toward the rich so that in 2000-2004, total income tax paid by the top 40% of income-earners grew by 4.6% to 99.1% of the total.”

“Harmful Spending & Complexity”

“Lower tax rates are important, but they are not the only critical issue. Both the level of government spending and where that money goes are very important. And even when looking only at tax policy, tax rates are just one piece of the puzzle. If certain types of income are subject to multiple layers of tax, as occurs in the current system, that problem cannot be solved by low rates. Similarly, a tax system with needless levels of complexity will impose heavy costs on the productive sector of the economy.”
