- Dr. Wasserman published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2006 that the only way to reduce taxes is to consolidate counties in Wisconsin from 72 to 18. That is a load of rheotric and it is false reform. Also in that column, Dr. Wasserman blasts TABOR and the Taxpayer Protection Amendment claming it is an ineffective way to solve taxes. One, it is not reform as consolidation is a false reform, two it will increase government bureaucracy sixfold. Two, TABOR reduces government growth and in turn reduces spending. The only way you can reduce our tax burden in Wisconsin is to reduce spending, period. That is the the same message that is being hit in New Jersey and Dr. Wasserman must realize that consolidation is false and temporary reform.
- Dr. Wasserman has at times crossed party lines to support tax policy that he claims is benefical for the consitutients of the North Shore, but Dr. Wasserman sixty percent of the time has voted in the past cycle of the legislature for increased taxes.
- Dr. Wasserman being a doctor has voted AGAINST Health Savings Accounts Tax Deduction as HSA's are not tax deductible in Wisconsin. Who would want to vote against this in which gives everyone a big tax savings and more control and choice over health care decisions. Bob Ziegelbauer has advocated as the only democrat in favor of HSA's, but the only doctor in the entire state legislature is not convinced that giving patients more freedom and choice leads to better health care.
- Dr. Wasserman has voted against just about all major legislation that promotes competiton.
Consider these facts before you think Dr. Wasserman is going to hold the line on taxes. The people of the 22nd district demand a check-up on his tax record.
