A new campaign to eliminate the state income tax in Wisconsin began Thursday as it promised to save taxpayers about $1,700 and expand revenue by boosting Main Street businesses and attracting out-of-staters choking on high taxes.
Led by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker and anti-tax groups such as the Institute for Reforming Government and Americans for Tax Reform, the effort has national implications, especially as other states, including Texas and Georgia, are also facing calls to cut income taxes.
“I love the idea of not just lowering it, but wiping it out entirely,” Walker told Secrets. “It’s going to be a huge game-changer,” he added. more
Fuck I guess that’s a start but the first state that eliminates the property tax is destined for great things.
I know one thing, it sure a hell won’t be WA.
It’s a great idea and makes sense fiscally therefore will be shot down by Governor “I make Biden look energetic” Evers
I have lived in six different states, three of them Florida, Texas, & now Nevada are state tax free.
I hated having that additional tax with NOTHING better for it.
Massachusetts was as bad or worse than California.
I have trouble believing a state can remove a tax once it’s instated.
In fact, here in Nevada the asshole dems floated ADDING a state income tax.
Texas doesn’t have a state income tax.
Good on ya, Scott! And if you pull that off, how about setting your sights on the 16th Amendment? Oh, heck, may as well go for the 17th as well then.
True, Texas does not have a state income tax. However, Texas does have one of the highest property taxes in the nation. It’s on a county basis and averages 1.8% of assessed value. That’s 1.8% year after year after year. One day you wake up and realize that land, passed down through generations, is now being rented from the government. Try not making that rental, er…property tax, payment and find out who really owns your property.
