"I am 56. I have a high school degree. You see this truck? I get $10 to load it. Not $10 an hour, $10 period. It's over." (actual conversation)
The view:
80% of us in Wisconsin have only a high school degree. I don't want to pay taxes to support state and government and school and college people who have college degrees and make more than I do.
I used to belong to a union, my father was a union member, but now union pay scale dropped from $28 an hour to $13 an hour at Harley and Mercury Marine and every other factory job, and you cannot make a living on that.
Yes I want to cut government budgets, and school budgets, and college budgets. I will never take a continuing education course. I did once and it led nowhere. I don't want you to cost me one penny. I've lost all my benefits, my future, and I sure don't want to pay to support you. Photo: Actual guy's actual truck in northern Wisconsin.
