This is going to be fun to all those that thought democrats won't raise your taxes. The question is not would they raise taxes, the question is how high.
You asked for it and you will get it!
"Wineke is second Dem official to urge income tax surtax
By Steven Walters of the Journal Sentinel
Nov. 10, 2008 | Madison -- State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Wineke said today that Democrats who control the Capitol should consider a temporary increase in the income tax to fix the state budget, as long as they also cut some spending programs.
"Sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet," Wineke said in an interview with a Journal Sentinel reporter on the WisconsinEye public affairs network. He said he thought voters would understand a one-time surcharge to finally fix the state's budget, which he said has been running a deficit since the 1990s.
Wineke was the second Democratic official to call for a temporary increase in the income tax to fix the 2009-'10 budget, which Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle has said faces a budget deficit of more than $3 billion. Former Gov. Tony Earl made a similar suggestion in an interview last week.
In 1983, Earl signed into law a 10% temporary income tax surcharge to pay for state services in the face of another national recession."

I'm still waiting for all the tax-loving liberals to start paying NOW the higher taxes they advocate for everyone else. BHO should pay the Clinton tax rate (39.6%) instead of the Bush tax rate (36%) on all the millions he's made the last few years. Besides, according to BHO, it's 'chump change'. What? The tax-loving liberals don't want to pay the taxes voluntarily? HYPOCRITES. Everyone who voted for BHO should send in a few hundred or thousand extra bucks when they do their taxes in a few months. The Government will spend the money better than you.
Paul, thanks for your comment. We're all waiting for the libs to pay more in taxes. I can't wait to see their faces on this. The question is how much more will they pay before they start screaming.
Have a GREAT week.
