GOP attacks 'socialism' - while shoveling state benefits to wealthy allies

The GOP noise machine continues its attack on Bernie Sander's Democratic Socialism.

Walker's been at it. Ron Johnson, too, on Twitter last March:

Understanding the risk of Democrat socialistic tendencies should provide motivation to re-elect Republicans up and down the ballot in November 2020. #wiright

Even the State Assembly Speaker proved that the Junior Varsity got the talking point and turned it into a mud ball aimed at Gov. Evers:

As President Ronald Reagan once said, “As government expands, liberty contracts.” He also said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Republicans in the legislature won’t forget Ronald Reagan’s sentiments. We won’t let government grow out of control and we won’t let socialism to take root in our state.

For the record, let's remind these Badger State apologists for corporate socialism of rhe millions and billions they have shoveled to their friends and campaigns.

Amazon, expanding in Wisconsin, pays zero in federal taxes.

Amazon, already open in Kenosha County with the help of substantial public subsidies, will also scooping up similar subsidies as it prepares an expansion to Oak Creek.

Ron Johnson bad mouths Socialism. Except when it works for him.

Johnson says The Democratic Party chose Milwaukee for its "socialistic tendencies" - - but I don't recall any such negativity when Johnson's company received $4 million in low-interest lending through a government-sponsored financing program, and, separately, benefited from a $75,000 federal grant for rail line construction.

Wisconsin's $4.1 billion Foxconn boondoggle

Gov. Scott Walker promised billions to get a Foxconn factory, but now he’s running away from it

Foxconn smashes Walker's crystal ball

On August 2nd, Walked took to Twitter and raised the ante to "at least 13,000 jobs."

Wisconsin landed Foxconn – and with it comes at least 13,000 good-paying, family-supporting jobs throughout the state! Check out the direct impact it’s having on northeastern Wisconsin and circle back here tomorrow for even more!

And while Walker says the contract he signed before the voters booted him out of office is "iron clad," here's a recent video where he easily shrugs off Foxconn only creating half the jobs he and the company repeatedly promised.
