Yesterday, Gov. Jim Doyle (D) unveiled his “Back To The ’70s” budget, which features a whole host of tax increases. The largest is a $540 million tax on oil companies. Despite a claim that they will be prohibited from passing it along, it will be passed along, with interest paid to the oil companies from the state once that provision is adjudicated as unconstitutional.
I hope you didn’t spend your $13/week from Obama. More than half of that will be going right to Uncle Craps so he can build roads continue to raid the transportation fund.
Revisions/extensions (8:50 pm 2/18/2009) – The Doyle administration halved the effects. Still, considering all the other taxes that are in the budget, I hope you haven’t spent that $13/week from Obama (assuming, of course, you qualify for it).
