Wait till Ron "Regulations Kill Jobs" Johnson hears about this.  WisPolitics reports:

Walker also defended the Revenue Department's decision to require additional permits for so-called "roll your own" cigarette machines amid complaints that some retailers are shutting down because of the regulations.


The governor rejected the argument that the policy was hurting businesses, saying the DOR decision provides certainty for all retailers in the tobacco industry.


"It's not picking winners and losers. It's applying what the law is," Walker said.


"What we hear from employers all the time … is they want the certainty of knowing what the law is, what the rules are, that they're applied universally and across the board," he added.

Funny, what Ron Johnson hears from employers all the time is that it's not "certainty" they want.  What they want is no regulations.

The idea that regulations are what's keeping businesses from creating jobs is as bogus as can be.  But it's become GOP gospel, and Walker says it, too.  Just not in this case. 

AFTERTHOUGHT: Maybe the question we should be asking is which of Walker's special interest friends and contributors is this helping?

"If I had a nickel for every person that said to me, you know, Mark, we told you to run for Senate before, glad you’re running for Senate now, or we like both you and Scott, we’re glad you’re running because we wanted to vote for both of you, I wouldn’t have to go out and fundraise for my campaign."- Mark Neumann.

Let's do the math. Ron Johnson spent $10 million last year on his Senate race. So Neumann, at a nickel apiece, must have talked to 200 million people who want him to run. If that's the case, he definitely should.

For a tea partying guy who says we have too much government, Ron Johnson wants to add a new title and responsibilities to that of US Senator.

This is a little like telling everyone to go on a diet while you're eating at a fancy buffet everyday and auditioning for pastry chef.
