Rep. Jay Hughes: Tax Committee Recommends (You Guessed It)

TAX STUDY COMMITTEE REVEALS . . . . Drum roll . . . . Wait for it:
MS leadership and the supermajority wants to shift Mississippi taxes from corporate campaign donors to the poor and working class. Here’s how:

Step 0: Underfund MAEP, IHL, Health, Mental Health, Vets, etc.
Step 1: Give $400+ Million tax cut for corporate campaign donors
Step 2: Sweep all the trust $$ from agencies to cover bad math
Step 3: Make a $55 Million “math error” and blame the staff
Step 4: Fake surprise when Mississippi revenue goes down
Step 5: Cut schools and agency budgets again
Step 6: Cut agency budgets again
Step 7: Blame the citizens for not buying enough to pay sales tax
Step 8: DEFELECT: Create special “committee” to “fix” it.

Gov. Bryant, Lt. Gov. Reeves, Speaker Gunn and their private posse have found the answer to all of Mississippi’s problems:

Our public schools are last in the country;
We don’t have enough revenue to even fund public schools;
We have the highest poverty and poor working class in the country;
Our roads and bridges are falling apart;
We can’t provide basic mental health services;
We don’t have enough educated/skilled workforce

THE EUREKA CONCLUSION:
RAISE SALES TAXES AND SHIFT THE TAXES TO THE POOR AND WORKING CLASS.

Simply stunning. Of course, leadership claims they would like comments on this new tax shift plan (wink, wink, nod, nod): at mstaxpolicy@ls.ms.gov
