In case you don't get to listen, here's a quote to summarize what happened with multiple tax rebates that weren't given to Wisconsin taxpayers:

If you are a taxpayer... "No matter what side of the aisle you sit on, your lawmakers and every candidate for governor have failed you."

This week we look at the political debacle that was the pro-taxpayer legislation that got killed by politics…

  • we almost had no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
  • instead, we get duckie ties and turduckens in the official debate.
  • we almost had property tax relief
  • instead, we get half truths and outright lies about your tax dollars.
  • we started with a constructive bipartisan accomplishment
  • instead, it turned into alliances of mudslinging and backstabbing.

After we look at Madison politics at its disfunctional worst, we wrap it all up with a quote from C.S. Lewis about what taxpayers should expect from politicians, and it isn't pulling any punches.

…and as always, thanks for listening.
