@State RepHong: "11 individuals who make more than $75 million will get more than $1.8 million back







@StateRepHong
Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly debated the 2023-2025 biennial budget.

Representative Hong released the following statement:

“This session, the Joint Finance Committee reached every corner of our state to talk to Wisconsinites about their budget priorities. Time and time again, they heard that our communities wanted our legislature to prioritize investments into childcare, public education, mental health funding, postpartum medicaid expansion, and hundreds of other initiatives.

Unfortunately, Legislative Republicans chose to disregard the will of the people by striking more than 500 items from Governor Tony Evers' proposal and passing a budget that falls detrimentally short of our needs. Instead, they chose to line the pockets of multimillionaires and billionaires while working class families in Wisconsin struggle to make ends meet.

11 individuals who make more than $75 million will get more than $1.8 million back every year under the Republican tax plan while working families are left behind. Every Wisconsinite should be enraged that a once-in-a-lifetime budget surplus has been spent on the 1%.

This is Republican misprioritization at its best.”

But hopefully shining light on the roaches will cause them to flee. Of course, head roach "45" seems to enjoy a spotlight
