“He got results. Our state is not perfect but our government knows that it works for us.”
So it can be done! We can get rid of the GOPe. Where do we find some more guys like Daniels to do what he has done in Indiana on the national level? There just has to be something better than the Doles, McLames and Romneys. Bush wasn’t a particularly good president, but he was lightyears ahead of these three losers.
Put the fear of God in politicians. We had just moved to Indiana in 2003 and people were ready to march on the statehouse with pitchforks and torches over the property taxes. The Democrats in Indianapolis tried to screw around with the tax rates to get more from people and they were removed. The people were also tired of the tax and spend BS from the Dem governor and Daniels came in and focused on the right issues. The state is doing well financially, adding jobs, and removing barriers.
Wisconsin’s bargaining fight and Michigan’s right to work win are direct results from Indiana and Daniels. Wisconsin better get on with Right to Work because Illinois and Ohio (which stupidly voted RTW away) are going to lose jobs to Indiana.
