This, along with immigration, is another reason why I'm undecided.
The real reason Wisconsin growth lags? It's not Gov. Scott Walker Marc V. Levine may have his statistics on jobs right, but his conclusion that the administration of Gov. Scott Walker is responsible for lower-than-average job growth in Wisconsin is wrong.
The reason Levine, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, reached the wrong conclusions is his failure to understand the dynamics that create job growth in a private economy ("Walker to blame for poor job growth," Crossroads, June 29). I have been chief executive and chairman of HUSCO International for 25 years. During this period, HUSCO has added 1,200 jobs. Since the end of 2009, we have added 320 jobs in Wisconsin.
Most medium to large businesses have the flexibility to add jobs anywhere. Under the administration of former Gov. Jim Doyle, with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke as secretary of commerce, HUSCO significantly reduced jobs in Wisconsin and moved them to Iowa. The reason we made such a large investment in a new out-of-state factory when capacity existed in Wisconsin was driven by the difference in business support and labor availability, capability and cost. We made the decision to shrink our factory in Waukesha for internal reasons, but the decision to move more than 100 jobs to Iowa was based on the more attractive environment for business in that state.
There were both national and state issues that concerned us during the 2006-2009 time period. Like the majority of private businesses, HUSCO is organized as an S Corp, which means we pay taxes at the individual rates for Wisconsin and federal taxes. As he promised, President Barack Obama raised HUSCO's marginal tax rate to 39%, which resulted in a state and federal tax rate of 45%, compared with our international competitors that pay 20% to 35%.
Additionally, the Obama administration enacted other regulations and laws that harmed most businesses. When combined with minimal economic incentives to retain the jobs in Wisconsin under Doyle vs. large incentives from Iowa, it did not make economic sense for HUSCO to keep the jobs in Wisconsin.
More recently, the recall election of 2012 created uncertainty for those running businesses in the state. Uncertainty and job growth run counter to one another. However, even with the uncertainty created by the vitriolic recall politics during Walker's first couple of years, HUSCO was confident enough to add 320 high-paying jobs in the state.
Virtually 100% of business executives I know would say that there have been consequential improvements for business under the Walker administration. I believe there are two fundamental reasons for lower-than-expected job growth during Walker's first term."..........
The question is not “can states ban same-sex marriage?”
The question is, “can states permit same-sex marriage?”
Walker suggested that voters should seek a constitutional amendment to allow state-level bans.a constitutional amendment to allow states to ban same-sex marriages.
That may be theoretically nice campaign hype, but not likely in reality, given the gutless cowardice on RCRA displayed by GOP governors (e.g., Brewer, Pence, and Hutchinson), and the unrelenting attack by the national and local fifth-column media and the leftist perverts in public school systems if such a serious attempt were made. And who would lead such an effort? A promise by GOP leadership for support is worthless nowadays.
And even if such an amendment were promoted and passed, it would face (mal)interpretation by a traitorous SCOTUS, just as the SCOTUS over the last few decades have subverted or just plain ignored parts of the Constitution they wanted changed or discarded.
Do most Americans now think it is "wildly extreme" to believe marriage should involve one man and one woman? If they do, and I think they very well might, there is zero chance this country will survive.
Sadly, a constitutional amendment would probably have as little effect as the current constitution which most clearly does NOT mandate homosexual marriage. If the justices can rewrite existing law, they can certainly rewrite any new laws. The problem isn’t the constitution. It’s the people we elect and their failure to reign in the judicial branch.
There’s a whole lot of judges needin’ impeachin’.
When confronted with the homo-marriage insanity being imposed in his own home state, I found Walker’s response to be... unimpressive. To put it kindly.
Scott Walker in Iowa on same sex marriage.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Like we're not banning things from falling up by acknowledging gravity.
We DO NOT need ONE SIZE FITS ALL being SOLD by the D.C. hacks..
We NEED to have The Federal Government to GET the HELL out of the middle of my life and liberty.
