Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was greeted to massive applause at the Republican National Convention — which continued throughout his speech, as he touted his victory in the state’s recall election as a triumph of Republican ideals.
“On June 5, voters in Wisconsin were asked to choose between going backwards to the days of double-digit tax increases, billion-dollar budget deficits, and record job loss — of moving forward with reforms that lowered the tax burden, balanced the budget, and helped small businesses create more jobs.
“On June 5, voters in my swing state were asked to decide if they wanted elected officials who measure success by how many people are dependent on the government — or if they wanted leaders who believe success is measured by how many people are not dependent on the government, because they control their own destiny in the private sector.
“On June 5, voters in Wisconsin got to determine who was in charge — was it the big government special interests in Washington, or the hard-working taxpayers of our state? The good news is that on June 5, the hard-working taxpayers won.”
