Supporters of the $78-million tax increase (the referenda) are pretty fast and loose with YOUR money. They tell you that it’ll only cost an extra couple hundred dollars, as if that expenditure is no big deal. I beg to differ.
Remember, this “extra” expenditure is just part of the overall tax burden we must endure:
1) Your city taxes are going up.
2) Your county taxes are going up.
3) Your school taxes are going up.
4) Your MATC taxes are going up.
5) Your sewer taxes are going up.
6) Your state taxes are going up.
7) Wisconsin taxpayers paid $500 each last year in
“hidden” taxes and will probably pay more this year.
8) Wisconsin already pays the
highest property taxes in the nation.It’s like a water torture test. Take this tax increase and add it to the mix of all the other tax increases and it just intensifies an already exorbitant tax liability. Just a few extra bucks? I don’t think so.
