For every teacher actually teaching in Madison there are 2 being paid that are retired. As the average life span continues to increase this will only get worse. Business has gone to China. The property taxes are up dramatically.
What solution do you offer?

The average Wisconsin teacher salary in 2009-2010 was $52,644.... they start as low as $25k.
Every dollar they make is our tax dollars, so if it costs 25% then we need to do something about that as citizens, don't we?
Teachers are a core backbone of our Country, I think of them as important as our Military personal and should be treated with equal respect for what they do for our Nation.
The State still has a ton of corporations doing business, how about they cut capital gains tax on money brought in that is directly used to create jobs? Say cut it to 2% or nothing? That always sparks huge growth, huge tax revenue collection, and it actually creates jobs and stops them from going overseas.
Then tax the bastards correctly rather than letting super corps that make trillions get away with paying nothing and you damn sure, do not give them MORE tax cuts so they pay less. When the use our services, our people, everything and leave the State nothing but scraps - that's completely pathetic.
Then, start forcing the cost of insurance/medical costs, all around, ground it once and for all rather than pandering to the Insurance companies, making our tax dollars pay them even more money..
Every State in trouble has fallen to this crap in some twisted way... and every single one of the States could correct it by simply not letting the Corporations bend them over anymore. Oh and if they would stop pretending that tax cuts create jobs, that would help too...
