Democrats - Devoid of Ideas
Democrats propose 750 million dollar tax shift
A group of legislators in Madison (who actually do call themselves Democrats) were running around the state on Monday trying to sell a new tax scheme. One of these socialists, Judy Robson (Beloit) is trying to argue that this “plan” would restore tax “fairness”. So, what do these brilliant believers in bigger and more intrusive government have in mind? What is a “fair” way to tax, according to this particular group of looters?
The plan is set up to shift tax from property taxes collected (school tax portion) on a portion of a home’s value and recapture those taxes by increasing certain taxes and taxing things that previously were not (principally $3 billion in sales tax exemptions on things such as food, prescription drugs and farm equipment and other corporate and franchise taxes).
The problem with any such schemes is that it is clearly not providing tax relief, rather it is another in a long line of tax manipulations that simply shift the burden of taxes from one group to another, with no recognition of who uses the services paid for by the taxes in the first place. Furthermore, such a plan also fails to introduce any market forces in the socialist paradigm of government education. Democrats and RINO’s in Madison really have no ideas, such as paying for what you actually use (that’s cruel and unfair, they say). The game is about finding ways to tax people behind their backs in ways they don’t see directly to feed the leviathan. So, let’s soak corporations and franchises more - and we’ll sell it as property tax relief.
This is just another pathetic scheme for legislators to feather their own nests. The “corporations” these people are talking about are principally small corporations (S-Corps), small to medium businesses and individuals (proprietors and partners) that represent the majority of the job creation ability in this state(including agriculture). This is a terrible idea that will only alienate the producers and induce them to either leave the state or to not hire new employees. In the case of farmers, its even worse because we already subsidize significant areas in farming, and to then tax that very subsidy is an insideous way of increasing the cost of everything we buy just to raise taxes. In the end, any tax plan that does not reduce the level of taxation and/or incorporates more market based mechanisms (especially in education) are simply job and business killers.
What we need are rational caps on spending and direct incentives to privatize education, and legislators with the guts to get it done. What we don’t need are pathetic attempts (once again) by Doyle and his cronies to incorporate hidden taxes - this whole crowd is devoid of any rational ideas…
