The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) would like to politely ask the Wisconsin Legislature to kindly refund the excess money they took from Wisconsin taxpayers.
According to new projections, the State of Wisconsin will end the 2023-25 budget cycle with a surplus of $4 billion. Instead of doing the ethical thing, it appears that the Evers Administration will be quite content to shovel that surplus into the gaping, insatiable maw that is the state bureaucracy.
The state budget is, essentially, a contract between the taxpayers and the legislature. They propose a set of services to be rendered for a fee, paid by taxes. When the taxpayers exceed their end of the contract, it must, if we want to foster trust and honesty, be returned to the people. It most definitely must not be stolen to give bureaucratic agencies their grandest desires in the next budget, as it appears that the governor would want to do.
“Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.” – Calvin Coolidge
Stop robbing Wisconsin taxpayers at the worst possible time. Give us our money back.
