Here’s why. To begin with, even accepting the findings above — and I have great respect for the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance — ranking 15th out of 50 states in tax burden gives us no reason to brag. It still means that 35 states are more competitive than Wisconsin.}}

{{cite book |last=Fishman |first=Stephen |date=January 2018 |title=Home Business Tax Deductions: Keep What You Earn |location=Berkeley, California |publisher=Nolo |page=21 |isbn=978-1-4133-2415-0 |quote=Your home-based activity can be a business for tax purposes only if you can show that you are engaged in it to earn a profit, not simply to have fun or pursue a personal interest. If you can't prove a profit motive for the activity, you will be considered a hobbyist and forced to enter tax hell. The IRS has established two tests to determine whether someone has a profit motive. One is a simple mechanical test that looks whether you have earned a profit in three of the last five years. The other is a more complex test designed to determine whether you act like you want to earn a profit.}}

Europe cuts taxes while Spain opts for hikes |last=Barciela |first=Fernando |date=2017-02-28 |website=The Corner |access-date=2019-01-11 |quote=Another hellish idea, which serves to justify-legitimise these tax hikes, is that tax pressure in Spain is low compared with other countries in Europe. Something which is true, only apparently. Spain's fiscal pressure is 34.6% while in Germany it’s 40%, 48% in France and 43.5% in Italy. But the problem is that while the fiscal pressure in northern European countries is more less evenly distributed, this is not the case here.}}
