Clip-Clop said no pensions or benefits were cut to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Walker's budget did exactly that. Act 10 increased the personal contributions of workers to their pensions and benefits, decreasing the state contributions, and those state monies - monies gained where pension and benefit contributions were cut by the state - went to tax cuts.

Wow, Robinhood, those poor public employees have to pay a small percentage into their pensions and benefits just like workers in the private sector? Then everyone got some tax breaks including those in the private sector who cannot afford to pay for those bloated pensions and benefits that private sector workers can't get? As a result the State Budget Deficit has been cut? Let's not forget about those poor Union leaders who now don't get mandatory dues and now that Union members have a choice and are running away in droves it prevents them from paying themselves ridiculously high salaries and takes away the money to fund the violence and damage to allow them to get even more bloated pensions and benefits!

What an absolute outrage! Those damn Koch brothers are taking over the world, soon there will be only rich people and the incredibly poor wandering the streets without jobs while the rich laugh at them!
