Maybe the taxpayers in Wisconsin ought to withhold state taxes and put up a list of demands as well. After all, they’re the ones that are paying for all this.

Withholding income taxes puts them in legal jeopardy, BUT, they can stop consuming and building until something is done. No consumer tax would hit the local governments hard, and no building stagnates property taxes. Bartering or trading leaves them out altogether.

CNN has a poll about unions. Even on the Communist News Network the unions are losing!
What to vote?

Yeah, you're probably right. If Wisconsin's income tax is handled like the federal income tax, perhaps taxpayers can change their withholding (state W-4) so that less is removed from their pay each week. That way, they could at least reduce the amount of money that the state is getting from them. Of course, they would understand that they are likely to have to make up the difference at the end of the tax year if their withholding is inadequate.
