		<description><![CDATA[When anything bad happens to a Wisconsin company, the anti-tax/anti-government crowd are sure to blame combined reporting. But Harley-Davidson&#8217;s apparent decision to keep open its York, Pa., factory shows the fallacy in their blame game. Combined reporting is the corporate tax reform enacted in Wisconsin earlier this year. It closes a great number of loopholes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jacknorman.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10191729&amp;post=112&amp;subd=jacknorman&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wisconsin&#8217;s richest pay less than 7% of their income for state and local taxes. Meanwhile, the bottom 80% pay 10% or more. Thanks to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy for their new model showing who actually taxes. See this summary from the Wisconsin Budget Project and the full report from ITEP.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jacknorman.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10191729&amp;post=99&amp;subd=jacknorman&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tax Foundation does numbers really well. But when it comes to what those numbers mean, their reliability vanishes. Case in point: Today I pulled some numbers from its recent postings on property taxes.  The numbers were helpful. But then I saw a strange disclaimer on the page. The Tax Foundation writes: &#8220;Although the property [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jacknorman.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10191729&amp;post=42&amp;subd=jacknorman&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wisconsin’s top anti-tax lobbyist has a new gig, but he’ll keep on playing the same old anti-government tune.

 Jeffrey Schoepke had been tax lobbyist for Wisconsin Manufacturers &#38; Commerce (WMC), where he carried the message for the state’s most potent anti-tax, anti-tax government organization.

A few weeks ago, Schoepke left WMC to become government affairs manager (aka chief lobbyist) for Koch Companies Public Sector LLC.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jacknorman.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10191729&amp;post=37&amp;subd=jacknorman&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
