No Tax on a Tax
Tonight about 600 Iowans showed up at the state House to speak out against the repeal of the federal deductibility on Iowa taxes. That means the tax that Iowans pay to the federal government cannot be deducted from our state taxes. It’s expected to affect those making over $125,000… that’s per FAMILY! Do you know how easy it is for a two income family to exceed $125,000?
House Speaker, Patrick Murphy didn’t like what a lot of Iowans had to say about the bill, especially what the president of Iowans for Tax Relief, Ed Failor had to say about it. In fact, after poeple started cheering on Mr. Failor, Patrick Murphy had him escorted out by state trooper. Then he had everyone except those signed up to speak to be removed from the floor. Radio Iowa has the blow by blow here.
I warned people months ago that if they elected these democrats, we would find ourselves in a position where we would be paying higher taxes and businesses would leave Iowa. And here we are. We first had to defeat the Governor’s push to pass a bottle bill which would have put a tax on all bottled items… not just pop bottles but water bottles too. Now we are fighting against the democrat’s desire to take away our federal deductibility which would increase taxes on a majority of Iowans.
I assure you that this is only the beginning. Right now, we see the Governor of New York, David Patterson taxing his residents for everything from ipod downloads to haircuts. But he is only planting the seed in the minds of our democrat leglislatures at the state house. We will be next. Spend it if you got it because there is no guarantee you’ll have it for long.
