WMC Disconnect

Read Paul Soglin - he says it better than I can.

The point is that while they say that business taxes are bad for Wisconsin, they are not a problem for their own businesses:


16. What is the top public policy issue facing Wisconsin? Item Responses (%)
Taxes 29 (35.80)
Health care costs 26 (32.10)
Lawsuit abuse 13 (16.05)
Economic slowdown 4 (4.94)
Energy 3 (3.70)
Labor shortage 3 (3.70)
Regulation 1 (1.23)
Education 1 (1.23)
Other 1 (1.23)

17. What is the top business concern facing your company? Item Responses
(%)
Health care costs 28 (34.57)
Competition 13 (16.05)
Labor shortage 10 (12.35)
Energy 8 (9.88)
Regulation 7 (8.64)
Economic slowdown 7 (8.64)
Taxes 5 (6.17)
Other 2 (2.47)
Lawsuit abuse 1 (1.23)


It shows the disingenuous for their position. Let's just get to work on real healthcare problems.
