re: Special Session: Black Caucus issues an ultimatum to increase income tax

It's most punitive on people from 25,000 to 50,000 wage bracket
Ex
25,000 and under = no change
30,000 = pay 100 more
40,000 = pay 300 more
50,000 and up = pay 500 more

So a person earning 40,000 pays 300 more
A person earning 2 million pays 500 more

It doesn't seem to make much sense being who supposedly is hawking it

well, no matter how it's getting spun, everyone with half a brain knows what they are trying to do, who they're trying to do it for, and why they're doing it.

Basically, just another way for Dems to buy votes from people this caucus represents by preying upon those who would and/or could never be part of their caucus... I think there are more and more people in their caucus constituency who are coming around and seeing the grass is actually greener on the side of this that works for them to go to work, provide for their families, and live the American dream instead of living in slavery to the Democratic party. A party who will NEVER provide for them better than they can provide for themselves if they educate, motivate, and apply themselves productively and intelligently.

I'd hit it

We need more midnight basketball and after school poetry

Outrageous and the same morons that caused this mess are still in control of trying to figure out how to fix their gross mistakes

Does anyone actually take the black caucus seriously?

Can't pass the sales tax extension without a few of them, so yeah they matter when you need 70 votes.

As of now, the state income tax bracket is:

2% - First $12,500
4% - Next $37,500 (up to $50,000)
6% - Earnings beyond $50,000

The proposed tax bracket would look like:

2% - First $12,500
4% - Next $12,500 (up to $25,000)
6% - Earnings beyond $25,000

Bracket ranges are doubled for joint filers.
