Let's be honest: when most people think of Wisconsin, the first thing they think of is probably related to cheese, cows, or farmland. The state does have those things, and personally, we love all three. However, it's also home to some pretty large cities, such as Green Bay, which is the home of the Green Bay Packers, and Milwaukee, which is the birthplace of Harley Davidson. It also offers decent tax breaks for those with a lower-income background.
