Sadly, you won’t be the only one suffering. But these officials seem to have never taken an economics class in their lives. As more people leave the city because of the high tax burden, the taxes will have to be raised for those who stay, escalating the exodus, and so on.

I don’t ever think this country will be back on it feet again.
Maybe after the next three President’s things might get better.

They should go after all those crooks that are getting the 300 billion dollars for bonus and raises for the fine services they did.

Well, the city of milwaukee finally taxed me out of my home.I’ve lived here 68 years. too
High property tax raises, jacked up the water bill, jacked up the auto fee’s, jacked up house taxes, jacked up 22% for natural gas, WE energies already had 3 rate increases since the first of the year 2008, now they want a 15,5% raise for school taxes.Social security gives me a $20.00 a month increase in which medicare took it away. What the good Lord givith the City and Government takith away.
So the first of Nov we are going into forecloseure, I never thought I’d see that day. And I can thank the Bush Admin. for that.

But the way i understand it, i won’t be the only one under the bridge.
