The issues

Ted Burleson strongly supports a higher minimum wage in Wisconsin

No one can live on the current minimum wage. Business should recognize that the minimum wage earner is potentially their customer as well, and if the people cannot afford your products, you will go out of business.

Ted Burleson strongly supports greater tax incentives to businesses to locate or expand in Wisconsin

This is a no-brainer. Business exists to make money. When business makes money, they create jobs, they can pay higher salaries and wages to their employers.

Ted Burleson strongly opposes changing state tax codes to make corporations pay a greater share of the overall tax burden

Corporations need to pay their share. Overtaxing corporations will result in cuts to compensation to the workers and that must be avoided.

Ted Burleson opposes capital gains tax breaks for individuals who reinvest in their companies or communities

Government behavior control Stop using the tax code as a tool to limit freedom of choice. But, reinvestment has high return, so private local reinvestment is a good thing, but it must be freely chosen by the investor.
