Wisconsinites paid over $6-BILLION in state income taxes

Here’s more evidence Wisconsin taxes too much. The Wisconsin Taxpayer Alliance reports Wisconsinites paid $6.14 billion in state income taxes last year. The average tax paid in Wisconsin last year was $2,716.

Close to 2.8 million taxpayers filed returns last year. Of that number, 2.01 million paid at least some tax.

There does not seem to be tax relief in sight. The Wisconsin Taxpayer Alliance projects that income taxes are expected to top $7.12 billion by the fiscal year 2009, further demonstrating the need to clamp down on runaway spending and taxation in Wisconsin.
