We cats read something today that — after shaking our furry heads and rubbing our eyes — we had read again to believe.
Scott Walker's personal net worth is minus $72,500. Yes. Minus.
How is this possible? Walker was the executive of Milwaukee County for eight years. Didn't he get paid? He's been Governor since 2011. Does he work for free? Wife "Tonette" has a job with a nonprofit organization. Don't they pay her, either? Scott Walker "wrote" a book. Hasn't it sold any copies? Why don't they have any money?
We cats don't understand how a Governor who's running for the nomination of the favor-the-wealthy party and who's such a fabulous friend of the Koch Brothers has no positive net worth. The Walkers have two children. Do they eat beans and franks every night? This sounds mighty irresponsible to us.
Just as wallowing in his vast fortune makes Mitt Romney appear out of touch, Scott Walker's lack of money is alarming, too. It makes you think, Whoa. He can't manage his family finances, why should he manage the country?
And most of all, why does he hate the working families of Wisconsin so much? We cats HISS.
