The Tax Payers Spoke Last November

A good read from Market Place about "we" the tax payers. 

Marketplace of Ideas Blog:

State employees specifically and liberals generally are getting an object lesson in how business has had to operate in the past couple of years. (A tweet from Walker yesterday said: “Spoke w/ workers who pay 50% of their health care premiums & others who had their 401(k) match suspended who would love our plan.”) That explains why the 85 percent of Wisconsin employees who do not get a paycheck from a unit of government have little sympathy for the 15 percent (a percentage far too high, by the way) who do.

A majority of that 85 percent made their opinions clear Nov. 2, as James Wigderson points out:

"Even less partisan taxpayers realize that public employee unions are a major contributor to the state’s wrong direction."
