Wisconsin Governor Walker signs $504 million tax cut

[rlegro]

25. Almost no one has noticed two facts about this tax cut

A significant chunk of that money is represented by the many millions of dollars in compensation that Walker swiped back from state employees in the same new law that all but gutted their labor unions. Other chunks come out of the hides of poor and under-employed, underpaid private citizens of the state, who lost out when Walker trimmed social programs and refused billions in state aids for new rail projects and Medicaid expansion.

So, public workers and lower-income residents are subsidizing a large part of this "surplus" out of their own, thinner wallets. And a goodly chunk of the rebates are, indeed, going to be redistributed upward to wealthier taxpayers. What a system!
