...on what the Republican proposed "flat tax" would really mean if it were enacted in Wisconsin.






A great piece just came out in @js_newswatch
on what the Republican proposed "flat tax" would really mean if it were enacted in Wisconsin.

Spoiler! It's just another tax cut for the rich!

"How about the working poor and middle class who make up the vast majority of Badger state citizens? Workers making between $40k and $50k would see only a measly tax cut of $290 annually.

Maybe somebody can figure out a way to get a small tax cut for very poor people. When I was poor, $240 would have meant an awful lot to me, and to my whole family.

and blame others when they realize the mistake they made. That old saying "you can't fix stupid.".
