Gov. John Kasich (R-OH)
Ohio’s Republican governor John Kasich (R-OH) has proposed a new tax plan that would radically restructure taxes in the state.
The plan would cut income taxes for most Ohioans, but increase extend sales taxes to additional goods — which tend to fall on poor and working people. The result is, as Policy Matters Ohio and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found, that the rich would get a huge tax cut while the poorest Ohioans would actually face a tax increase. Here’s a table from their report demonstrating this:
As you can see, the poorest 20% would have their taxes raised by $63Ai??annually. Ai??The top one percent would get a more than $10,000 tax increase.
The people of Ohio voted for this jerk, so let them live with him. Fools do what fools do.
America, you have a very serious problem if you keep voting against your best interest.
Not often the tea-infected GOP is this honest and aboveboard.
Still MORE rob the poor to pay the rich and corporations.
Wave that GOP banner high. This is it, what the GOP stands for wherever it lives. THIS is, first and foremost what it means to be a Republican.If you brand yourself as such THIS is what you stand for.
Does it make you proud? Get it? Got it? Good!
In the last sentence of this post, I think you meant to write “$10,000 tax cut,” not “increase.” (It would be nice if a Republican governor ever suggested a tax income on the richest 1%, but I’m afraid that only happens in our dreams.)
