Democrats: Better On Taxes

Some interesting facts from a Bruce Murphy April 2010 post:

• Wisconsin's total tax burden is lower than it has been since 1962
• Wisconsin ranks 26th in total spending and 19th in total taxes and fees
• When taking Federal aid into account, Wisconsin's total spending ranks 32nd
• When only taxes and not fees are considered, Wisconsin ranks 14th
• Wisconsin has ranked comparatively low in total business taxes ever since the 1970s
• Governor Doyle has been considerably more frugal than Tommy Thompson (Scott Walker voted for all of Thompson's budgets)
