"Imagine Wisconsin as the only state in the Midwest with no income tax. Right now, our progressive income tax, ranging from 3.5% to 7.65%, hits families and small businesses hard—costing the average household nearly $2,800 a year. It’s one of the highest rates in the country, while our 5% sales tax is among the lowest. By eliminating the income tax and raising the sales tax to 8%, we’d put $1,700 back in the average family’s pocket annually—a net tax cut of $3.5 billion statewide. This isn’t just relief; it’s a game-changer. Experts project $28 billion in GDP growth and 175,000 new jobs over eight years. We’d attract workers, boost businesses, and lead the region in economic freedom—all with a historic $6 billion surplus to make it happen now."
