More on the Taxpayer Protection Amendment
Boots and Sabers has been all over the Wisconsin Taxpayer Protection Amendment. Yesterday, Owen reported on a conference call, concerning TAPA, sponsored by American's for Prosperity. Dr. Milton Friedman participated in the call. This is important because:
Milton Friedman, for those of you who may not know, is a Nobel Prize winning economist who has been fighting for tax and spend restrictions on government since Proposition 1 in California in 1973, when Governor Ronald Reagan began trying to bring our governments back to fiscal sanity. Proposition 1 failed to pass, but it helped start a revolution. He has seen measures like the TPA written and tried across the country for 30 years and knows what works and what doesn't.
He came out strongly in favor of the amendment. Good enough for me.
Earlier in the week, Owen relayed information about a public hearing on TAPA. The hearing is Wednesday afternoon. Pending approval from my boss, I plan to leave work early so that I can attend. I support this amendment and I want to make sure that Wisconsin's Republicans know that.
