Our taxes<br \/>\n\tare terrible, we have a 5.9% state income tax, we have very very high real estate taxes, the <br \/>\n\tteacher unions control the state. We have a number of college towns including madison that<br \/>\n\tare as liberal as California, we have the city of Milwaukee with the worse schools in the<br \/>\n\tUnited States, and half the people on wellfare and we have the wisconsin department of<br \/>\n\trevenue which makes the IRS look like a cub scout pack.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe state of Wisconsin is so greedy that it has approved the packs of all the Indian casino&#8217;s and<br \/>\n\tthe Wisconsin Department of Revenue only allows a $300 loss write off against wins in a year<br \/>\n\tat the 17 casino&#8217;s they support. So if you win $20,000 in jack pots in a year and actually lose<br \/>\n\t$22,000 you will still pay full tax on the $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe divide between conservative and liberal is as vast here as it is anywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\tThis is a perfect place to wage this battle, and until this year i would have said it is a battle<br \/>\n\tthat can not be won. Seems the teachers unions were as as god like as they thought.<\/p>\n<p>\tGman<\/p>\n<p>\tP.S.   &#8230;. what really made the  difference was 4 more new members of GTC \ud83d\ude00  \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just 3 years ago, who in their right mind would have thought Wisconsin would be the state where conservatives would make their stand?
