4. $0.13/gallon tax on beer would raise more.
that is about a penny a bottle. Read that somewhere today.
I think someone ferreted out the real crisis - the Koch boys seem to want some real payback for buying Walker the governorship - they want to buy power plants in a no-bid deal for pennies on the dollar.

5. That would only cover the current fiscal year
It would do nothing to address the upcoming $3 billion deficit starting July 1.

Sorry, can't buy into your arguement.

6. It's not my argument...

I just thought the video's message shows that fixing this budget crisis can be done in creative ways...like $32 from each Wisconsin adult or a tax a beer or....etc. Taking away workers' rights and targeting teachers and public employees alone is not the way.

7. How Regressive should we become?
$32.00 is absolutely nothing to a millionaire but to someone making slightly above minimum wage it is a tremendous amount..
