Wisconsin: Governor Walker’s Tax Shift Plan Would Raise Taxes for Most

Guess who would save the most?

Governor Walker has said he is interested in eliminating the state’s income tax and raising the sales tax to make up for lost revenue, a move that would result in a tax increase for all but the wealthiest taxpayers.

To replace the revenue lost by the income tax, the state sales tax rate would need to be raised to 13.5%, giving Wisconsin the highest state sales tax rate in the nation.

The tax shift endorsed by Governor Walker would mean the bottom 80% of taxpayers would be paying more in taxes – some of them, a lot more. For example, a taxpayer in the lowest 20% by income would pay nearly $750 more in taxes, on average. Taxpayers in the top 1% — a group with an average income of $1.1 million – would receive a tax cut averaging nearly $44,000.

7. We need a good, honest to goodness progressive Democrat here in Wisconsin,

not the faux one that's running now. And when we find that good candidate, we'll need the backing and blessings of the DNC.

8. I share your dismay at the DPW's choice of Mary Burke as the annointed one. Vinehout fan here.

9. Can you prod Vinehout to run.. that is a good question.

Tammy Baldwin, a very likable person, who I would trust. Who could replace her in senate?

Tom Barrett, a D, likable person but trustworthy?

Wisconsin needs some new blood (D)'s, IMHO.

10. Vinehout may still run, but the injuries she suffered in the traffic accident may deter her. Tom ..

... Barrett is a DINO, much like Burke, but at least honorable and personable.

Baldwin needs to stay where she is.

In my humble opinion, the first change we need is with the leadership if the State Party. Mike Tate is, at best, ineffective. His every action leads me to believe he's actually a conservative plant.
