The following two headlines appeared side-by-side in most Wisconsin papers recently:

Legislature and Governor Agree to Double Capital Gains Tax (Other Taxes and Fees up over $3 Billion)

And …

GM Will Not Re-open Janesville Auto Plant (Kenosha Engine Plant among other companies still on the bubble)

Most of us know that businesses, especially small businesses, rely on capital gains incentives to power their investments in their workers and the community. Small business owners also use these long-term tax rates to provide income in retirement that is inflation-protected. If the irony of these two headlines is lost on our State’s citizens and politicians, its time to re-visit the creation of the State of “Superior”, which would carve out the people of common sense, leaving the insatiable redistributionists behind (maybe a virtual State?).
