Senator Grothman to Wisconsin residents: You are not smart enough to talk to us

Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) seems to believe that the general public in Wisconsin is not smart enough to talk to them about the Bride of TABOR and the future of taxation in this state. But hey, it only affects every issue the state faces so why should Wisconsin residents get their say on it?

An article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today has Grothman saying this about why he has chosen to exclude the public from the TABOR hearing:
"Right now, I want intelligent, helpful discussions," Grothman said. "It's important this be done right."

Translation - done their way. And that means they don't have to sit and listen to all you pesky taxpayers that want to have a say in this.

Glenny and Jeffy have had just about all of the advice they want and need from WMC and AFP.

One wouldn't want the hearing to be too characteristic of the state legislative process where "Grothman questioned how meaningful those often-long hearings are, when speaker after speaker might say the same thing."

"Realistically, I don't think a lot gets accomplished at those hearings," Grothman said.

Wow! Wowwie-wow-wow! Let's all just curl up in a ball and listen to what Dr. Barry Poulson of the Independence Institute has to say, shall we?

If "Molliemous" is any indication, Glenn may be right. It took this person four attempts to finally say something.

I guess only the perfect will survive to write and be heard in the worlds of xout and the TABORISTAS!
