Scott Walker on Tax Cut Rates: "Mostly False", "False," or "Pants on Fire": You Make the Call

Investing in Wisconsin: Governor Scott Walker 
Kicks Off “Tax Relief for Wisconsin” Tour

New Version of Tax Cut Remains a Windfall for the Highest Earners.  (Wisconsin Budget Project, 6/5/2013)

59% people earning $30,000 a year or less will receive no benefit from the income tax cut.  Almost all of those earning $100,000 or more, on the other hand, will benefit.


As shown in the Wisconsin Budget Project table below, the Joint Finance Committee reduced rates for all income brackets, with the biggest reduction for taxable income between $215,000 and $315,000
