Tax a hospital $1.00 (who will pay for this??), and they get $1.42 back from Medicaid.<BR/>If a regular business did this it would be called a ponzi scheme or a violation of RICO.<BR/>Why do we let politicians do this? Because we all want our pork. We all want our share of the massive amount of money controlled by the "state".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-44780440975520281202009-02-12T07:32:00.000-06:002009-02-12T07:32:00.000-06:00Seriously, when is the Journal Times going to ask ...Seriously, when is the Journal Times going to ask Bob Turner about this keeping both jobs thing?

Turner will flunk out with the general public. He will be lucky to keep his seat in Madison much less dream of a DOUBLE PENSION mayoral bid. <BR/><BR/>Should Mason and Lehman, who I feel are decent legislators, go and endorse Turner for Mayor, they immediately alienate thousands of citizens in their district. No one likes public employees, politicians these days and they detest someone like Turner who thinks he can snort up two pensions and insurance benefits. <BR/><BR/>Should he attempt to go through with his lust for the mayoral position, he will quickly see that the electorate are not going to tolerate this and thus put his seat in Madison in jeopardy. <BR/><BR/>Should Mason and Lehman go ahead and endorse Turner, they lose me as a contributor both in money and in support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-88601352819180015952009-02-11T23:43:00.000-06:002009-02-11T23:43:00.000-06:00None of this surprises me coming from Lehman and M...None of this surprises me coming from Lehman and Mason. These are the guys who are supporting Robert Turner for mayor in the upcoming election, even though Turner is going to try and keep both seats and have us THE TAXPAYERS pay his salary for both seats, pad his pension, and receive NOTHING in return. The same as it's always been with him. Lehman and Mason this this is ok. I say it's time to end this crap before it begins. RECALL BAB TURNER NOW, before he even has a chance to be elected mayor.

Thank you Mr. Mason, you have now sanctioned government to take more money out of my families budget and put it into state government. So Mr. Mason, tell us how much in taxes, hidden and otherwise should one have to pay. I already have to work for three months just for big government. Why don't you cut state government by 1/3 and lives within your means. Mr. Mason, you are a socialist. Your kind could never make it in the private sector.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995069001282687360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-50257873064324848392009-02-11T21:53:00.000-06:002009-02-11T21:53:00.000-06:00Mason knows nothing about job creation.

He thinks its governments right to siphon off money from business to do all its social experiments with. Unfortunately he never has to explain why Wisconsin under performs year after year in job creation, even during a good economy. That's right. He's from the Lehman crowd who believes that the taxes aren't too high.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995069001282687360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-1081133591844850242009-02-11T19:39:00.000-06:002009-02-11T19:39:00.000-06:00Robin, Just raise the price of your popcorn and cl...Robin, Just raise the price of your popcorn and clam up.

I'm begining to realize that it may in fact be cheaper and easier to go on welfare/aid. 100% of my hospital bills would then be paid. I'll just find a cash job on the side as well.
