Dayton's Tax Increases

[68GTO]

There is a very real relationship, both quantitatively and qualitatively, between what you contribute and what you get out of this world.

AGreed. Work hard, make your own "luck", be focused and drive a BMW.

More people on this site make less than that a year than you realize.

This is a wonderful statement. It is succinct, accurate and to-the-point. Many of you on this site who may not make this much could easily make this much. Aim high. Go big or go home, as they say.

You can do it!
Then you can pay for it with taxes that this Democrat cretin wants to impose

the word TCF comes to mind.... Moved to SD. (no State income tax)

you are correct sir.

It was a lot more complicated than that. Really it had more to with the amount of products that they could sell by moving the headquarters there.

and a safe haven for banking laws also. Likely a bigger reason for doing so. Still, it's a no-brainer in today's market where physical presence in MN is less important

sigh... letreed...

Words to live by from Thomas Jefferson!


I am still bitter about not getting a stimulus check to blow like everybody else did.

Another aphorism I like to keep top-of-mind is:
The best way to guarantee your future is to make it

my girlfriend's hardcore union dad (who voted for Dayton) is going to be upset when he gets taxed way more because their income is over $150,000...

No way, have you taken a good look at Hyundai recently? Look at it!

$85k is not rich. Why do these folks always need to cover for everyone else?

Must agree here. As of right now (to the best of my knowledge) we all get taxed the same. So if you are single making 150K a year WTF are you spending it on? Poney up a few more dollars and settle down. You want to be part of this nation and state and take care of it you can pay a little more for all of your luxurious needs. I say throw it in action I'm willing to pay a little more to get our state out of debt.

Is everyone left on this planet really this stupid and 100% brain washed?
Who here makes over 120k a year? Maybe 1 person on this site? The tax hikes are for the top 5% of the state. Read a fucking book.

Raising taxes on the rich effects everyone.

if we cut aid to newport we could knock a couple hundred bucks off the state deficit.

Increased taxes don't get us out of debt. They revenues are used to spend on frivolous crap and in the end we end up with a larger deficit.

Every dollar taxed is a dollar removed from the economy which is one dollar less that you had a chance of making.
