I intend to phase out the Minnesota State Income Taxes and perhaps lowering the property taxes as well. Minnesota is among the highest taxed states in the US and it’s about time that we let our people to keep more of their hard earned money.

We can make our State Government more efficient and reduce its size, so we can spend our people’s tax money on things that matter the most and stop wasteful spending.

Do higher taxes really help our state? The answer is no!

1)Income taxes

When people pay more income taxes they have less to spend on what they need in their daily lives and/or spend less in the Minnesota economy. When the State government takes less from hard working Americans, we will likely to put that money into the circulation of our State’s economy and energizing our business sector.

2)Corporation taxes

Do you really think increasing corporate taxes will keep the money here? Do you really think big corporations will willingly hand government a big check? Well think again, in fact higher corporation taxes will only drive companies away. For example, Medtronic, a Global Medical Device company that started in Minneapolis, is now headquartered in Ireland for tax reasons. Yes a Minnesota Company had become an Irish company! Big companies can easily set up shell companies in Panama, Bermuda or Singapore to legally evade taxes.

The solution should be we attract these global companies to our shores, offering them incentives to keep jobs in Minnesota, leveraging their global earnings to energize the economy here at home.

In my vision, We The People must have checks and balances on the government for how they spend our tax money. We can keep track on every single dollar we spend from our own bank account right? It’s also our money in the Department of Revenue, why there isn’t a public accessed website to show us the details on how the state is spending our money? I want the State to report to us, We The People (Their Boss) on how every single tax dollar is spent!
