Look out everyone the nation’s billion duo The Koch Brothers have found their Pinocchio for the 2016 Presidential cycle and his name is Scott Walker the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. Scott Walker has been the type that took the Republican platform and really made good on all their promises. Walker was successful in his efforts of breaking public sector unions with his the passage of Act 10 that took a lot of items off of the bargaining table for the public sector unions such as: raises that exceeded the cost of inflation, and prohibiting unions to automatically collect dues, and forcing every union to vote for re-certification annually. Also while kicking unions when they are already on the ground signed into law making Wisconsin the 25th “Right To Work” state since key provisions of Act 10 was ruled unconstitutional.
Walker has played his cards right, enacted the right legislation and said all the right things to be drafted by the Koch Brothers. From passing voter ID to defending the state’s ban on gay marriage. Walker has survived a recall effort in 2012 and won reelection in 2014. Walker is the type of guy that can push anything through and he isn’t willing to back down because he has 100,000 protesters flood the streets of Madison and compare hardworking Americans to ISIS members. Walker will not only have the Koch Brother’s ear if he gets into the White House I think he’s probably had it the whole time. Walker is the perfect conservative being pro-life, anti-union, pro-drug war, Scott is for the reduction of state funds for education which he did by almost a billion dollars, and doesn’t care if he gives the rich a tax-cut while cutting services to the 99%.
Did you not see this coming though? Once I heard this news it wasn’t even a shock. The Koch Brothers spent roughly 100 million dollars in 2014 and pledged to spend 1 billion in 2016. Walker could be the first Koch President and I see that as a horrible sign for our Republic that a couple of billionaires can buy all levels of our election process.
