The	
  goal	
  of	
  the	
  TaxFairnessWI	
  campaign	
  
       is	
  a	
  fairer	
  tax	
  system	
  in	
  Wisconsin	
  and	
  the	
  US.	
  
	
  

        	
  
        What	
  do	
  we	
  mean	
  
        by	
  “tax	
  fairness?”	
  	
  
        	
  	
  
        That’s	
  a	
  hard	
  thing	
  
        to	
  define	
  in	
  just	
  a	
  
        few	
  words.

But	
  it	
  can	
  be	
  really	
  	
  
obvious	
  when	
  
something	
  is	
  unfair.	
  
	
  
“Fair”	
  is	
  hard	
  to	
  
define.	
  
	
  
“Unfair”	
  can	
  be	
  easy	
  
to	
  see.

             Sure,
