here's that the a larger frame in which this is occurring
either we r a society
and the populations country has more than doubled just in my lifetime
either we are a society where we all
look out for each other at least in in small ways I mean
better individually large societal e rental relatively small
it's not a great deal of money and the average person pays about ten dollars a
year in taxes that go to support food stamps for example
sore on a small way helping out some people who for home
this is actually a big deal so either we r
or were not or not a society we are simply a collection of individuals
and if they can convince us that we're just a collection individuals
and what's good for everybody
if you don't like it you know you know you know at the play that game
when it comes to matters of life and death is
you know this the whole cialis conservative lost in this is really
really problematic
here's another another example a in ohio john casick
who I think has a very good chance to be in the vice presidential nominee this
year
our next year on the Republican ticket maybe even the
the presidential nominee whose who knows he's a one slick politician
john casick has in his budget plan for the state of Ohio
now what would you predict
a Republican who is like you know a Koch brothers favorite
right-wing Republican lotsa like gay
yeah I got he got elected me out a lot Republican legislature elected with a
lot about a state billionaire money you know I'll
as a billionaire's have helped just like they help take over Wisconsin
they help take over Ohio they help take over Michigan in michigan is probably in
state billionaires the device family and friends
so what kinda what it what kinda
the tax plan would he come up with well he's suggesting
cutting taxes on wealthy people
in Ohio basically anyone with an income over twenty thousand dollars year I
realize
you note yeah below 20,000 Ohio you pretty much don't pay personal income
taxes
for a family of four I realize it's not wealthy but
any you know anybody over 20,000 he was to cut their income taxes in a specially
because it's a progressive income tax
the people who are making me hundreds of thousands of dollars year millions of
dollars a year or even
if there's anybody know I'll making billions of dollars years probably a few
are maybe one or two who knows
they're gonna get see a massive tax cut
so how's your makeup that revenue is talking about cutting 5.7 billion
dollars
from state's budget over the next two years
he's gonna make up their revenue by raising sales taxes
by point two billion now
sales taxes are you know he in fact your use the article from The Columbus
Dispatch Randy Ludlow
writing in The Columbus Ohio newspaper he is asking the GOP-controlled General
Assembly cut income taxes by 15 percent this year
in a purse effort 2016 for a combined total 5.7 billion
this a top a 10 percent cut during casick's first-term
so he's all about helping rich people Ste
keep keep more of their money so I was gonna make up for that well he's going
to increase income taxes
by reducing deductions for retired Ohio ones who make more than 100 K
is gonna mean test means-test income tax credits for Social Security retirement
income
you get Social Security and retirement income and you may not be able to get
tax credits
he's gonna require Medicaid recipients
who make more than eleven thousand six hundred dollars a year
to pay a monthly premium a fifteen to twenty dollars for their stay provide
health care benefits
sonya this article goes up
about you know john casick this is the the
ohio is going to make it in this area near the rich get richer and the poor
people working people
who spend a hundred percent other income if you spend on how to present your
income then I percent your income is gonna be taxed
and the taxes going up other john casick so they're going to be the ones who
really
really get yet you know buried in stuff
so the article goes up
this is historical the article goes up on the Columbus Dispatch is website
and
I am just yeah I read the article and I thought okay to school I get a refund as
nice scroll down I saw the comments
first comment I wish I could move on to the state will be impossible to get by
on what retirement I receive between casick's tax increases the local tax
increases they will come
and schools it'll be looking for fortunes we don't have lord help us
another one
opening the door to charter schools tapping local schools let me money Ono
another one this is all part of casick's plan to shift the burden taxation from
the wealthy two UEP
to the poor what a bad human being next one
missus II these are the actual order that they occur
this is a tax increase for most people this is a day after year paying the
extra sales tax whatever you saved the meager income tax cut would be long gone
next one more online purchases just make sure it includes free shipping and no
sales tax
don't want Amazon building in Ohio right
it was you know sarcastic casick's proposals as
another one from David casick's proposals make Ohio's tax structure even
more regressive favoring the richest taxpayers over those with low incomes
the middle class
kW we're becoming more like Texas at nine percent sales tax a
with no income tax and in texas gives you a $40 million to Toyota to move
their headquarters basically providing corporate welfare to those
paid for by those least able to afford a Texas as a film a prosperity riding army
the working poor
yes sir back to the future next one from reader
sales taxes are regressive income taxes are progressive
nice Benny to the top one percent
that is why are well keeps moving out of our hands and into the bank accounts
those at the top and by the way they are creating jobs with it
Johns's are republicans against redistribution of wealth oh not
necessarily depends on the direction
next one I can imagine tax policy more calculated heard or
ordinary working ohioans in the poor last one Laura deco
what are retirees supposed to do we spend everything we have coming in so I
guess will finance the income tax cuts
our main entertainment is going to the movies in case it was the start action
the screen even want to make funeral services taxable I guess we don't
deserve to keep our income but the wealthy do I wish I could afford to move
out of his state
you're listening to the Thom Hartmann program call 202
buy 362 370 virtually all the ohioans reading this
newspaper article in Ohio are trashing the governor has to get reelected
%uh that's right billionaire money
