Rich States, Poor States - 2014 Economic Outlook

Kansas is 15th, Wisconsin is 17th. It would appear that both states' economies are improving pretty well.

You'll notice that states generally governed by Republicans are near the top and those dominated by Democrats are at the bottom. That is no coincidence being that leftist economic policies generally fail, just like the premise of this thread.

So he screwed the state workers that teach the kids, pick up the garbage and fixes the roads for no good reason......

When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker delivered his State of the State address in January 2013, he promised that an agenda of budget cutting, reduced taxes and less business regulation would result in a better economic climate and more jobs for his state.

In 2012, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback wrote that his state’s tax cuts would be “like a shot of adrenaline into the heart of the Kansas economy” that would “pave the way to the creation of tens of thousands of new jobs, bring tens of thousands of people to Kansas, and help make our state the best place in America to start and grow a small business.”

The trouble is that the promised job growth hasn’t really materialized.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says that Wisconsin ranked 35th of the 50 states in job growth during the first three years of Scott Walker’s term, and dead last among its immediate neighbors, including, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio.

Yep the blue state of New York has the same idea up to 10 years..

Walker is a great governor. He cut spending. He lowered taxes. He's taken on the public sector unions. That scares the living daylights out of liberals.

 

[Crystalclear]

He's still fixing mess democrats left

It takes some time before the businesses come and jobs are created.

If low taxes are such a bad idea then why is NY offering ten years of tax free operation for new businesses?

 

[JFK_USA]

Lower taxes attract companies, look at Texas. It will only take some time before the companies move to Wisconsin.

Not necessarily.

For low skill jobs, that's a bigger factor. However if a business want high skill workers, they go to areas where there are well educated people. That's normally New York, LA, Chicago, and the Bay Area. To them, the benefit of
that highly skilled workforce is higher than the cost of high taxes.

Lower taxes isn't the end all be all for businesses.

Usually that is called a "bribe". What would you call it?

But according to you sheep low taxes have no effect on business and are not good for the economy. So why would a liberal bastion of political correctness and progressive-ism like NY offer such a bribe if it was going to harm their economy?

I'll give you a hint. It won't harm their economy one bit

Why are these two surveys so opposite of each other?
one is a survey of employers= small group, CES
the other is
Bureau of Labor statistics = a much larger group surveyed CPS
Could the 1,350 be, that more people became entrepreneurs?

Seems that Wisconsin is doing OK

Lower taxes isn't the end all be all for businesses.

But the state will be more attractive for businesses that don't need a high-skilled workforce than most states with higher corporate taxes.
