Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX) is the state's oldest and most respected private government research organization. Since 1932, it has been promoting better government and an informed citizenry through its publications, public outreach and extensive school programs.

WISTAX seeks to explain how state and local government work, so voters and taxpayers, students and teachers can be more active and informed citizens. By providing reliable data to members of the legislature, county boards, school boards, city councils and other government bodies, WISTAX helps them to arrive at intelligent decisions. WISTAX also provides consulting on government and tax issues to public officials, the news media and various other groups.

Nonpartisan and fiercely independent, the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance has earned an unrivaled reputation for accurate, objective research - for telling the truth simply and directly. WISTAX does not lobby government, support or oppose candidates for public office, or take positions on state or local government issues. It is not affiliated with any other organization - national, state or local.

WISTAX research and education programs are financed primarily by voluntary contributions from businesses, foundations, organizations and individuals; and by subscription fees and publication sales.
