Deficit-wise, you're better off moving to California.
We're told that the Golden State's 1-year budget deficit will be $15.4Bn. Jim Doyle's (two-year) deficit is $6.4 Bn.
Just for grins, let's cut Doyle's Deficit by half, to compare annual numbers.
So:
California has a population of 33,800,000; each Californian's share of the deficit is ~$455.00.
Wisconsin has a population of 5,300,000, so each Wisconsinite's share of the deficit is ~$584.00.
No wonder California's cows are happy. They aren't milked NEARLY as much as Wisconsin's...
I didn't do the math on Michigan Dad. But I'm sure you'll find similar results.
ReplyDeleteAh, but you don't understand the immense numbers of low-income people there, including many illegal aliens. These are the ones who don't pay any taxes due to low income or unreported income. I suspect the tax burden is actually much worse on the average middle-class Californian than the average Wisconsin citizen.
ReplyDelete...ummmnnnnhhhh...and Wisconsin has no illegals? No low-income folks?
ReplyDeleteWrong.
Just walk down Main St or University Ave in Green Bay, you'll feel just like you're in California or Arizona!...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the facts dad, this will be great for my 9th grade government paper on beef with the government
