Much to like in Republicans’ tax plan
But part should be jettisoned, and we need to keep working toward flat tax
The best part about legislative Republicans’ proposed tax measure is that it really does cut taxes in a reasonable way for a lot of Wisconsinites, says an authoritative observer of states’ tax reforms.
The proposal, approved by the Legislature’s budget-writing Joint Finance Committee on June 12, would raise the upper limit of the personal income tax’s second-lowest bracket, meaning the tax rate on a lot of income would fall from 5.3 percent to 4.4 percent.
The move, said the Tax Foundation’s Katherine Loughead, “is a relatively well-structured way to provide relief for lower- and middle-income Wisconsinites.”

Evers is trying to spend our money for more housing
He says we need to have affordable housing! He is right, but someone needs to teach him that affordable housing comes when hardworking people build it and buy it, not when government builds it! Every time the government builds a housing unit, they compete against private businesses that build and rent out housing. That is wrong! Tell Tony that when the government builds houses, the taxes go up on all of us, and it won't be long before none of us will be able to afford a house.
Ow income housing costs us a fortune, because they pay no property taxes and because they give people housing that is subsidized by our tax dollars, a failed socialist policy.
