Message: From GoLocalProv by Donna Perry, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: You know it must be late January in Rhode Island when we are in and out of a deep freeze, there is slushy, brown snow on the ground, and the “still don’t get it” crowd is up at the Legislature trying to push through another round of misguided tax policy for our economically teetering state. The progressives-labor union coalition has returned with what seems destined to become an annual attempt to take Rhode Island further off course, by pushing for a return to an unfriendly and non-competitive high income tax rate for the high end earners. Rhode Islanders for Tax Equity (RITE) is proposing that the state consider hiking the income tax rate from its current rate of 5.99%, only reformed in 2010, and raise it back up 2 points to 7.99% --- on incomes of $250,000 or above. Despite the fact that those income earners are very often RI small business owners, and all thing considered, are not really as “rich” as the progressive coalition claims. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/donna-perry-rite-is-wrong-again-on-ri-tax-policy
