Wisconsin homeowners would take hit from GOP business tax cut

MADISON

Wisconsin homeowners could see property taxes increase $270 million a year under a Republican proposal to eliminate taxes on business equipment.


To keep their services level, municipalities and other taxing entities would have to raise levies $80 on the average Wisconsin home to make up for the lost tax base, but proponents say the bill could spur business growth and generate more tax revenue that would reduce the burden on homeowners.

Out of the middle class.

I now agree that the latest ploy to obliterate transparency is to distract attention from other provisions such as this.
