Want Low Taxes? Come to Wisconsin!

This might come as a surprise to a lot of us, but the amount of income that Wisconsinites pay in taxes has been steadily declining, and is now at its lowest rate, according to a new report from the nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum. The report measured Wisconsin’s “tax burden,” an expression that encapsulates the ratio of state and local taxes a person pays relative to their income. Mark Sommerhauser, Communications Director for Wisconsin Policy Forum joins Brian to further explain what they uncovered about Wisconsin’s taxes in the report.
