Who the hell is this “Median” guy and where’s his property?

December 13th, 2006

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle claims that the property tax bill for the “median” homeowner in Wisconsin is only going up $7 this year.

Mine went up $300 for the second year in a row.

I need to find out where Mr. Median lives and move in next door.

Ours went UP about 25%, and we are not in Milwaukee. Tax freeze my left eyeball.

I’m with you on the capriciousness of Governor Doyle’s press release about the mythical median value home. Please consider reading my comments on today’s home page at FoxPolitics.net.

Here’s a theory off the top of my head. Maybe the home values in some parts of Milwaukee have dropped so much (due to crime) it’s kept the median number unmoved. If true that’s bad news. I prefer a tax freeze from government holding the line on spending not from decreasing property values.

I think Mr. Median lives in la-la land – also known as Madison. Those politicans need to get out into the real world more often – a world that actally has to work for money instead of a place that just sits back and watch everyone elses hard earned and eaily taken away tax dollars roll in.
