Were number 6

I just love this story from the JS "Wisconsin dips to No. 6 in tax burden" "Different ranking says No. 14". 
I'm so happy we dropped somewhat, but we can do more to lower things.
In the article it has this - "Per capita, the group said, Wisconsin ranked somewhat lower at 12th in the nation, with an average tax burden of $3,714 a person. A third measure, focusing only on the "big three" state and local taxes that most individuals pay - income, sales and property taxes - ranked Wisconsin third overall, behind only New York and Maine, the group said." Add in other "fees" and taxes, we might be higher.
 
(logic check)Link this with the stories on business's leaving Wisconsin, the Milwaukee County Board wanting anywhere from a 1/4% to a 1% INCREASE in sales taxes, some Milwaukee Common Council members wanting trollies, MATC wanting more $$$$, the list goes on and on, and what do you get? A TAX HECK!!!
 
But according to the left we don't live in one. They just want to add more spending and finance them through more "fees", "sin" taxes, and outright tax hikes.
