This should work out as well as it did in New York!!
Oh...
Wait...
Gee, and how many top earners does MN plan on taxing next year? Funny thing about incomes, they can be modified for tax purposes. Just ask any big earner in Europe, the pay scale is lowered by the perks are raised. Remember this is how we came to have health insurance provided by employers. Bad decision with bad results.
Democrats?... (Eddie Murphy laugh)...
Don't kid yourself...the government wants ALL your money. They take theirs and we can keep the change.
Your Minnesota State Legislature.
Doing the Impossible* since 1932.
(*making Wisconsin look business-friendly by comparison)
Hey all you rich Minnesotans, come on down to Florida where we don’t have an income tax.
You can visit Minnesota any time ya care to.
Just encourage them to leave I guess.
I’ve got an idea. All the taxpayers should flee to Mexico and all those in Mexico that want to come in, can. (smile).
and they will bend over and say “thank you sir, may I have another?” How else do explain Franken, the wrestler, and that creature klobuchar?
Spend as little as possible.
Earn as little as necessary.
And you can bet that the deniers will talk about the “cuts” of 2003 and further claim that Minnesota’s quality of life isn’t what it used to be because the state doesn’t spend enough money. Check the facts. Over the past five budget cycles, state spending has grown by the following amounts:
2000-2001: 13%
2002-2003: 15.4%
2004-2005: 7.3%
2006-2007: 8.4%
2008-2009: 13.6%
Where are those “cuts” again?

“I think it’s simplistic and naive to say people can spend their money better than the government…The notion that everybody can individually spend their money better than government I, I just think is trite, wrongheaded and anti-democratic.” ( March 8, 2008 State Senator Larry Pogemiller -DumbForLife party at the Brian Coyle Center in South Minneapolis)
Lew Latto on the radio here this morning said the dems also are floating the idea of a special real-estate tax of something like 23% to close the deficit. Don’t know where he got that. Haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Lets see ... let the federal tax cuts expire, re-institute the estate tax, raise federal taxes on the rich, add a Social Security surcharge on the rich, add a penalty for “Cadillac” health plans, raise the state income tax on the rich - YEAH, THATS THE TICKET TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY !!!
I hope they succed we can always use more jobs here in Georgia.
Well, no. It isn't the "wealthiest" who will have their taxes raised, it's the ones with the highest verifiable incomes. There is a rather large difference. If you want to stifle economic activity, punish success.
Well, let’s see, raise the taxes if you want less of an activity, the wealthiest Minnesotans will leave, and then Democrats will come for the rest of the wage earners to fund their spending. The opportunity cost will be jobs, jobs, jobs, private sector jobs, jobs, jobs...”
Hard to leave your farm land—but it is easy to decide NOT to grow something in a couple of your fields.
OR- prep & plant the field- then plow it under due to a ‘freeze’ or something.
Why is this so hard?
Raise taxes on lawyers. Make it a surtax on legal fees.
Watch Democrats go insane. Time to fight class warfare with class warfare.
