It is shocking the number of states proposing tax increases… even after posting huge gains over the last few years, with the stock market run and increased tax revenue from rising salaries and property values. And the usual suspects: California, Washington State, New York, and Rhode Island… blue enclaves. And the progressives are good with that? NY is proposing an increase in its already exorbitant state income tax. This tax-the-rich, Bernie Sanders socialist mantra is gaining traction. It’s class warfare. Not good. Mike Slater opined on Breitbart this morning that we are voting stupid people into office (Spanberger in this case) because we allow stupid people to vote. In days of old, we didn’t allow stupid people to vote; now everyone can vote, he lamented. We have spoken about this innumerable times. The Founding Fathers only wanted landholders to vote because they had skin in the game. Why is a property owner's vote counted equally to that of an unemployed, apartment dweller on welfare? Two sets of priorities, one based on what they can get from the other man’s labor.
