The Janesville Messenger and the Gazette both share nearly the same idealogy when it comes to "liberal" economics and taxation policies. They both editorialize regularly the heavy tax burden Wisconsinites endure. There is no question to whether or not Wisconsin is a "tax hell." Wisconsin needs tax relief!
But, both newspapers have supported the Bush taxcuts for the "wealthy" which of course is at the Federal level. So my question to them is this. How does the Bush taxcuts help the residents of Wisconsin and other states to lower their local tax burden? If it did help, explain which taxes (property, sales, income)went down or will be going down? Rep. Ryan explained that as a result of the taxcuts, Federal (income) revenues are up considerably. Explain how that added revenue will lower our local tax burden in Wisconsin? Many state programs to help the less fortunate and poor are being eliminated because of subsidy cutbacks from the Federal government. Explain why the Fed is cutting back while it is flush in taxcut money?
The Bush taxcuts combined with the Republican refusal to raise the Federal mininum wage sure looks like class warfare to me. I may already know their answer to all of this. It's class warfare to say its class warfare.
