racer254 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 MADISON – While Gov. Tony Evers is trying to take credit for historic tax cuts authored by the Republican Legislature, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) – through its affiliate, WMC Issues Mobilization Council – is telling the truth about his history of vetoing tax cuts and proposing over $1 billion in new taxes. In a new television ad, WMC informs Wisconsinites about the real Tony Evers. “In one of his very first acts as governor, Tony Evers vetoed a middle-class tax cut,” the narrator says in the ad. “He tried to raise the gas tax and pushed to increase the cost of your heating and electric bills. Evers even tried to raise taxes on manufacturing jobs.” The 30-second spot began airing on broadcast television this week, and it is part of a significant investment by WMC Issues Mobilization Council to educate Wisconsinites on issues important to our state’s economic competitiveness. “Over a billion dollars in tax increases,” the narrator continues. “That’s why you can’t trust Tony Evers.” Click here to view the ad. The Facts: Gov. Evers’ first veto of his term rejected a nearly $500 million middle-class tax cut passed by the Republican Legislature. Gov. Evers proposes raising the gas tax by nearly 25% in addition to tying automatic hikes to inflation, which is currently seeing record highs. Gov. Evers proposed doubling the state’s energy tax, which would have raised ratepayers electricity and heating bills by $100 million – on top of already skyrocketing energy costs. Gov. Evers sought to increase taxes on manufacturing jobs to help pay for a budget that would have increased spending by more than eight percent. Gov. Evers said raising taxes in his first budget by $1.3 billion was “small” and that it was “pretty close” to not raising taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 Walker had wisconsin with a huge budget surplus, why would Evers need to raise any taxes? Unless he wants HIGH GAS PRICES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Biden will clean us out by the end of his term. Our only hope is that the REPUBS take the Senate and House back, and stonewall the fukker for two years. Biden signed a health care act today, covers more people. My taxes are insane now, but I gotta' pay more for other people. Obama was there with him. Pelosi belongs in an assisted living facility. Room-full of wretched, old fucks. Obie can talk though, I'll give him that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 So no one can answer the question? Democrats just want more taxes, no matter if it is needed or not I guess. Just a way to put more hurt on the middle class and their energy independence. Seems like that is the goal of climate change as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_zrt Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Foxconn deal fell apart as soon as Tough Guy Tony stepped into the picture. Like the deal or not, you aren't putting that on walker. Tony has actually given them tax breaks despite Foxconn not holding up their end of the deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
