Property taxes in Wisconsin are outrageous. I own two homes on different waterfront properties in Minnesota and my brother lives "in town" across the border in Wisconsin. About 5 years ago, he built a new home, three bedroom, about 3000 square feet. Nice home but not palatial. He pays more in property taxes for his one home than I do for my two homes in Minnesota. Either of my places would bring more in sale than his would.

As a result, many taxpaying citizens of this Wisconsin town leave and more across the state line. This allows them to pay less taxes, stay close to their birthplaces, and continue to work their jobs regardless of which state they work in.

The result is that more taxpayers leave and more tax consumers remain shifting an even greater tax load on those who choose to remain.

WEAC's magazine, the house organ for the educrat goons, had a nice article recently on retiring in OTHER states, to escape Wisconsin's confiscatory taxes. Hypocrites.

"We are getting taxed out of our homes". This is EXACTLY why Prop 13 passed in California in 1978. Gov Davis is trying to unravel it now, but it is the only thing that has kept many retirees within the confines of the state. If Prop 13 gets torn apart, there will be a mass exodus.
Wisconsin- get the details on Prop 13 and try to get it on your ballot there.
I gave up property I inherited from my father outside of Madison because of the property taxes. Brother has it now.
