Wisconsin Gov Walker is spewing LIES and PROPAGANDA on his Twitter page
Examples

http://twitter.com/GovWalker


The fact that Sen Dems are still in IL shows why the legislature had to move forward to protect the middle class. 12 minutes ago via HootSuite

Who benefits from our reforms? MIDDLE CLASS taxpayers! Other states are raising taxes on middle class while we are not. about 2 hours ago via HootSuite

Budget reforms save $30m in FY 11 as gov't workers pay mere 5.8% pensions & 12.6% health ins contributions; saves 1,500 jobs. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite

Our repair bill will save jobs, protect taxpayers, reform gov't and help balance the budget. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite

MPS teacher total comp: $101k (includes $23,820 health ins plan w/ NO premium); avg WI worker: $48k comp + $14,656 plan w/ 20% premium. about 5 hours ago via HootSuite

Our reforms help avoid massive layoffs & massive property tax increases - all good for the middle class taxpayers of WI: http://ow.ly/4bUdJ about 6 hours ago via HootSuite

Senate's action will save 1,500 jobs in FY 11 & will save 10,000 jobs over next 2 years. about 6 hours ago via HootSuite

1. That school teacher pay figure is A LIE
The stats are from an outfit called the MacIver Institute, funded by the Koch brothers.

Not only that, it's difficult to get past that stat when searching on Google. This is probably another reason corporations are fighting Net Neutrality; so that they can mislead on internet research.

3. Maybe Walker should be looking at cutting out the middle-man.
