Four tax proposals are making their way through the state legislature now, which would line the wallets of Wisconsin’s wealthy & overwhelmingly white. We anticipate them getting to the Governor’s desk by the end of the month.
Rich Get Richer under Proposed Tax Plan
From Racine to Rhinelander, everyone in Wisconsin deserves the freedom to make a good living and care for our families.

The four proposals leave everyday families even further behind because none of these tax proposals effectively target families who are struggling to make ends meet.
