Tom Tiffany said he wants to eliminate Wisconsin’s income tax, and Democrats are treating it like a scandal. We think it’s the right goal for the governor race.
A recording of a Republican candidate for governor telling a voter he’d like to get rid of the income tax is now “leaked audio.” The Wisconsin left is trying hard to make a tax cut sound like a threat.
In Ep. 88, Justin Phillips and Shadow Governor Vos go through the Democratic pushback on Tom Tiffany’s comments about eliminating the state income tax. Tiffany told a voter it wouldn’t happen in his first budget but is the goal after that. They explain why that is a normal Republican position and not a gotcha. They also take on Gov. Tony Evers, who keeps blocking free money meant for Wisconsin kids because the program is tied to Trump. They talk about David Crowley’s call for a blue ribbon commission and why it looks like a third Evers term with a new name on the door. The episode also covers the Green Party candidate who was arrested after an anti-semitic rant at a gas station, the 10th anniversary of Ken Bone, and the news that tattoos are apparently no longer welcome in the Kwik Trip parking lot.
