Walker Strategy number two: Blame the poor

You are spending tons of  money from your corporate handlers on television commercials, but the commoners are still signing recall petitions.   Even in the hinterlands!   Pretty soon, those friends of yours are going to wonder whether you are up to running their Wisconsin franchise.

So what do you do?  Shout "Look! Over there! Poor people!"  

Poor people do scam the system.  So do rich people.  Here is the difference: The scams performed by the wealthy put the country in a recession, nearly brought down the wold economy, required secret bailouts, and still netted the scammers obscene profits and bonuses 

 Another difference between poor people scams and rich people scams is that when the wealthy get caught, they know their army of lawyers will force the government to settle without even admitting wrongdoing .
