Friends,

It was announced last month that our state now has a record $17.5 billion surplus, which is historic for all the wrong reasons because it means Minnesotans have been grotesquely overtaxed. Instead of prioritizing tax relief, Democrats are talking about increasing fees and taxes, AND putting a bonding bill on the state’s credit card!

 

Senate Republicans have heard the request for tax relief and have tried four times to bring up a bill that eliminates the tax on social security. Every single time it’s discussed, the Democrats vote it down on a party-line vote, despite their claims of supporting the initiative. After a start to session were we saw terrible pieces of legislation pertaining to abortion and the Democrats “Blackout” Energy bill, which were ran through at record speeds, suddenly we are short on time and committee hearings to discuss tax relief.

 

Our SOLUTION: We offered the “Give It Back” tax plan, which offers $13 billion in various forms of tax relief: elimination of the tax on social security, income tax cuts, property tax relief, and much more. This plan represents exactly what Minnesotans have been asking for—they want their money back. If we can’t provide tax relief with a $17.5 billion surplus, why should we be putting multiple bonding bills on a credit card, or discussing any new taxes or fees?
