My friends at the Republican Party of Wisconsin went all Jeff Foxworthy on the DemoBudget:
As Governor Doyle tours the state promoting a job-killing budget he signed into law on Monday, he’s been touting the potential for the budget to create jobs. However, there are a few things he forgot to mention…
Hey, Governor Doyle:
When your budget will kill more jobs than it helps to create…it might be a job-killing budget.
When your budget increases spending by 6.2% during an economic recession…it might be a job-killing budget.
When your budget replaces $2.2 billion in ongoing state funding expenses with federal stimulus money hyped as job-creation spending…it might be a job-killing budget.
When your budget cuts funding for Forward Wisconsin, the state’s business-promotion group, at a time Wisconsin is losing hundreds of jobs to other states…it might be a job-killing budget.
When your budget raises taxes on small businesses and corporations alike…it might be a job-killing budget.
When your budget increases taxes on investments by $243 million…it might be a job-killing budget.
When the cost to do business is going up on everything from the phone bill to the cost of waste disposal but protects an earmark for recycling bins in one town only…it might be a job-killing budget.
When businesses move hundreds of jobs out of Wisconsin citing burdensome taxes you approved to balance the books…it might be a job-killing budget.
If you still think this budget creates jobs…you might be Governor Jim Doyle.
I’ve got one more – when the budget creates a brand-new, higher tax bracket for the more-successful of small business owners…it might be a job-killing budget.
