"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Wisconsin Invoices the Exercise of Rights
"Despite a proclaimed opposition to new taxes, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has advanced a policy that amounts to a new and draconian tax. People will have to pay the state for the “privilege” of free speech and assembly. To exercise those rights in or outside state facilities will entail permits at least seventy-two hours in advance and potentially prohibitive fees. The policy took effect on December 8 and is expected to be completely phased in by December 16."

It's all a part of the Koch-sponsored privatization* of government function, that is, turning America into a big company town that works only for the productive heroes, and eradicates the parasites who should get a job instead of protesting.
Anybody who doesn't want to pay a fee for standing on and using property is a moocher.
See how that Cato/Mercatus/Reason/GeorgeMasonU cirque-de-capitalism is working out?
