As far as a political model is concerned, Walker is nothing particularly special. He's on the same one-way street as pretty much every other GOP governor in the country. The State executive and legislative (both parties are pretty guilty of this) play the vote-whoring "I created jobs in this state/" game by allowing themselves to be butt-fucked by American corporations for big State corporate income tax breaks by moving their legal offices from one state to another every three years. And by the "I won't raise your taxes" vote whoring game. So the States are more and more broke every year...and then GOP Governors jump in blaming their state's fiscal woes on members of greedy public unions and greedy overpaid public school teachers, and greedy management level public servants who negotiated good pensions for themselves in lieu of the paycheck they would have gotten for 25 years working in the private sector.
And the gullible, ignorant, lazy-ass fucking electorates in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, etc., just buy it.
