Wisconsin Speaker of the Assembly Robin Vos is still pissed off about getting punk'd by Governor Tony Evers on the state budget. Evers used some creative vetoing to guarantee funding for public education for the next 400 years. To make matters worse for Boss Vos, Evers did it by negating a massive tax break for the ultra rich.
Vos is so upset that he took time from his vacation in Belgium to complain about getting outmaneuvered. He said that he hoped that some right hand group would sue Evers over the move, because "Evers lied to us." Keep in mind that what Evers did was perfectly legal under state law, which was established by the GOP, and had been utilized by former governor Scott Walker.
But Boss Vos was not done there. He also demanded that his office staff whip out a press release condemning the move. The only problem is that Vos said all the quiet parts out loud:
“Vetoing tax cuts on the top two brackets provides hardly any tax relief for truly middle-class families. His decision also creates another economic disadvantage for Wisconsin, leaving our top bracket higher than most of our neighboring states, including Illinois.
So when did making $360,000 a year qualify as middle class?
