Every time you think they’ve gone as far as they can go, Republican governors take it another step. They’re not content to just cut taxes on the wealthiest and cut services working families rely on. No, they simultaneously raise taxes on the middle class. They don’t just cut education: NJ Gov. Chris Christie cut education so much a judge ruled his cuts were too deep to stand. They don’t just increase the amount public workers pay into pension funds: Maine Gov. Paul LePage did that while exempting himself from the increase.
It’s that kind of brazenness that led one of Working America's Ohio members to tell us
If he (Kasich) has his way he will privatize everything and there will be a toll booth at the end of my driveway.
So, yeah, there is a backlash, and it’s not just in Wisconsin.
