Everyone in the state deserves the opportunity to fully participate in and benefit from Wisconsin’s economic growth. Our economy, our communities, our schools, and our families will fare better when every person in the state has full access to opportunity.

But gains from Wisconsin’s growth are not being widely shared. A growing concentration of income is being held in the hands of the top 1%, and too may Wisconsin residents are finding it difficult to get ahead or are living in poverty.

For Wisconsin’s economy to work for everyone, our state needs to invest in healthy communities, working families, and public infrastructure across the entire state. We also need a tax system that provides a level playing field for Wisconsin families and businesses, rather than a system that advantages the well-connected who rig the system for their own benefit.
