What will happen is that the upper tier tax cut will increase the state deficit. Then there will be a "temporary" sales tax increase to cover said deficit.
This means that eventually, the bottom earners will end up paying more in sales taxes.
Funny how the Dems are against this and want more cushion in its reserves in case the economy falters again! (BTW:The republicans against this could see their last term.)
They must not have much faith in their president!
Incomes benefiting from this tax break starts at 36,000
Married filing jointly begin to qualify at 76,000
Why are the dems against helping them they are not RICH they are suppose to be the ones for the poor/poorer of the Americans!
Because of our Gov we are already in a better place than most states right now.
The Dems? State Democrats? What would faith in their presidnt have to do with anything? Who are you talking about here when you say they are not rich.
Not many people in the country know or care about Idaho. The only thing I know about it largely is potatoes, meth labs and the slew of gang problems that I hear of from people who live there. Perhaps you can give the rest of the forum, so we can understand what the heck you're talking about.

Well, .......... As I did not write the article maybe you should read the article.
Again there are Meth labs are EVERYWHERE! GANGS are almost EVERYWHERE!
Potatoes are grown in I believe 36 US states.

do liberal listen? no they do not have the capacity to do so. If you say tax cut around them it triggers a response that covers their ears.
A liberal listen..... no
I'm looking forward to the extra spending money! 7.4% marginal state income tax rate on top of the state sales and property tax is still way too high though. As conservative as Idaho is supposed to be, our income tax is still higher than many other states.
Really?! By all investigation everything says cost of living is so much lower in Idaho, but based on your post I am wondering if this is correct. We currently live in MA where it's supposed to be so much higher, but we currently pay 5.25% income tax, 6.25% sales tax, our property taxes are based on mill rates rather than a straight percentage, but we currently live in a town with lower rates so pay about $4K on a home assessed at $374K. We also pay yearly excise tax on vehicles which is based on their age, so it deters from buying a new vehicle, but figure on $130-$400/yr. We basically get no services for our tax dollars - no trash pickup, poor road maintenance, but the state is really good at putting up homeless people from other states in hotels...I think half our population is on welfare or disability - and if you are an honest hardworking taxpayer you're basically screwed, you'll get nothing and they'll suck you dry until you're sweating blood. We're paying $3.75/gallon for gas and about $4/gallon for home heating oil. Anyway, I guess I was shocked to see income tax is over 7% in Idaho...so is it really cheaper to live there?
