A legitimate concern is how some professionals are using their pass-through entities to turn what should be salary or wage income into pass-through income to obtain the SALT and 20% deductions. That could easily be resolved without the new provisions in both the House and Senate bills that make other pass-throughs less competitive with C-Corps.
The Senate can make targeted changes to certain provisions in the House bill in order to ensure the final package is maximally effective at supporting manufacturing investment here in the U.S. These changes include protecting manufacturers’ ability to deduct interest on business loans.
Bill kept his ego in check and laughed off our presidential speculation. He knew his way around the White House as well, or better, than anyone in American media, and he was much more interested in checking and balancing our commanders in chief than in trying to become one himself.
Our constituents expect those they elect to be good managers of tax dollars, not just spend slightly less than those on the other side of the aisle. Lawmakers have an opportunity to get it right and we should take it.
Rather than fostering fair competition, minimum markup laws artificially inflate prices on everyday necessities like gasoline and groceries, burdening working families and undermining consumer choice. In a modern economy defined by efficiency, transparency, and innovation, government should not be in the business of telling retailers what they must charge.
Materials engineers are essential but since we work behind the scenes, many people are unaware of the critical role we play. Our work goes into every single manufactured item you see around you.
It is incredibly worthwhile to celebrate the Appellate court’s reversal, and the Supreme Court’s upholding, of a decision that delivered a decisive blow to the centralizing and feudalistic institution of zoning.
The “Big Beautiful Act” will pay for tax dodges by slashing health care coverage, food assistance and increasing the national debt. GOP hypocrisy.
Trump’s manufacturing revival is a solution in search of a workforce.
For Black voters in New York, the race presents a particularly complex and emotional challenge. Their loyalties are being pulled in multiple directions, leaving many questioning which candidate truly represents their best interests.
Tom Jacobson came back to town over the Juneteenth holiday, returning to the place where he began his long and storied career as a civil rights attorney, unyielding consumer advocate and a champion of the underdog.
President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran is a major surprise.
As Joint Finance begins its final push on the Wisconsin state budget with the fiscal year ending Monday, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss when–and if–it will cross the finish line and whether Republicans can win any Dem votes. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Evers’ third term question, Trump’s economic policies, what Wisconsin voters agree on, and more.
Progressives object because proposed Wisconsin relief goes to people they envy.
Senator Johnson has long supported transparency and accountability in government. Now he has the chance to prove it by backing Most Favored Nation pricing and protecting Medicare negotiation.
As conservatives, we believe in common-sense policies that protect the individual and family.
In Wisconsin, home to such environmental giants as John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Gaylord Nelson and Sigurd Olson, we are rightfully pound of our conservation heritage.
Mamdani’s overthrow of the uninspiring establishment candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo should trigger some serious thinking about how Democrats win in the Donald Trump era, and who they represent.
All the caterwauling over Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s surprising win in New York’s mayoral primary this week reminded me of the reaction when Paul Soglin pulled off his stunning upset of incumbent Madison Mayor Bill Dyke back in 1973.
