Wisconsin headlines from Scott Walker’s no good, very bad Thursday... as a gif!

Who needs a social safety net when you've got billions in the bank?

Guess you don’t need Medicare when you’re a billionaire.

We know the '80s were weird, but this rhetoric is pushing it.

In 1980, David Koch ran for VP on a platform that compared Social Security to nuclear war. Yes, really.
