Gov. Scott Walker on Rasmussen's 'What America Thinks'

[Excerpt] Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is the first guest on What America Thinks this weekend. On Scott Rasmussen’s new nationally syndicated television program, Walker addresses his own polarized poll numbers, Paul Ryan and more. ✧ On Mitt Romney’s controversial comment that 47% of Americans are dependent on the government and locked in to vote for Obama, Walker says: “There are some people, like the president, who define success, in government at least, by how many people are dependent on the government. … My view, and I think [Romney’s] view and others’ view of success, is just the opposite: It’s not how many people are dependent, rather how many are not dependent on the government. Not because we kicked them out to the streets, but rather because we empowered them to control their own destiny by getting the private sector back on track and that’s where real economic prosperity, and ultimately freedom, come from.”
