Would you lower taxes over your four-year term, keep them the same or raise them? Please be specific.
Walker: Over the next four years, I will lower the overall burden on the hard-working taxpayers each year I am in office. Specifically, property taxes on a typical home will be lower in 2018 than they are this year (which means they will be lower than they were in 2010).
In addition, I will seek to lower the income tax burden on working families and retirees. And I will not raise the sales tax.
Burke: My goal is to lower taxes and ensure we are competitive with our neighbors and the nation. Under Scott Walker, our economy is lagging and we’ve missed out on growing our tax base by nearly $4 billion. That’s unacceptable. My focus would be tax cuts targeted to the middle class and working families instead of breaks to businesses and those at the top that don’t create jobs. Families who really need tax relief aren’t feeling the impacts of Walker’s trickle-down approach.
I’m particularly concerned about the very high property taxes across the state. We must be more fiscally responsible with taxpayer money and ensure that our tax base is healthy. As the only candidate for governor with business experience creating jobs, I know that’s how you lower taxes responsibly, by creating more jobs and growing the economy overall while cutting out wasteful spending and special interest loopholes.
