Dear Editors and Politicians,
I demand these democratic principles in Wisconsin and the nation:
Every voter creates a hard copy record of his vote.
Ethics and laws that apply to citizens will apply to politicians equally. Ethics and campaign finance reform that forbids any politician from voting a tax exemption, law or benefit for contributions or favors of special interests that denies another citizen equal protection under the law. No one should be exempt from any tax, benefit or law at the expense of another.
Fair taxes - a small local property tax on real estate related services that applies to everyone’s real estate, a lower state sales tax rate that applies to everyone’s retail purchases and retail services, and a lower state and federal income tax rate on all income - exempting only poverty level income for all.
Equal education opportunity for all kids financed by general revenues on a per student basis. Social services managed by counties financed by general revenue sharing and county sales and income tax caps.
Universal healthcare for all citizens like politicians now provide themselves.
Freedom from foreign oil and war.
I give Republicans and Democrats until the next election to accomplish these things!
Thank you,
Gary Bahr

"We know that the property tax burden is unfair, that homeowners are picking up an extrordinary burden of it because of all the exemptions. When someone gets exemptions, others have to pick up the load and it can't be families anymore." ~ Judy Robson, Democrat, Incoming Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader
