I was at the presser last week, where republiCon Ron claimed Madia would raise taxes on “the majority” of Minnesotans. The press wasn’t buying it, especially after republiCon Ron claimed, and I’m paraphrasing, that since the majority of Minnesotans own 401K’s, and since Madia would look at raising capital gains, those capital gains affect 401k’s and a tax increase would affect most Minnesotans.

And the reason you haven’t seen much in the media about republiCon Ron’s claim, is that as usual with republiCon Ron’s claim, it’s complete and total bullshit.

republiCon Ron and the GOPer bootlickers think Carl Pohlad, Kevin Garnett, Bill McGuire, and all the other Big Tickets need to keep their Bush Tax Cuts, or the economy is going to go to hell.

And that kind of thinking is why Madia is winning, the national GOP is bailing on Paulsen, and Democrats up and down the ballot will kick republiCon ass on November 4th.

An on November 5th, republiCon bootlickers still won’t have figured out why…..

How about we don’t pay any taxes at all? Just wipe them off. Nobody wants them. Can anyone explain to me what would happen then? I don’t want to pay any taxes.
I also would like to know if these taxes were rolled back what would be the true positives. I mean, wouldn’t there be more money in the roles to make sure we can get what is needed done? How much money was lost due to those tax cuts? If it really did good then why is inemployment so high? Isn’t it at a 7 year high? Wouldn’t there be money for our schools so they don’t have to go and do these damn referendums every year?
What we need are people that are in the know to meet up and hammer out what is really needed to run this country. I’m tired of life long politicians trying to do this. Let’s get successful people together and hammer this crap out.

[...] That not me talking, that the Congressional Budget Office. Of that $2.35 trillion, you want to know how much goes to the top 1% of earners in this country? Thatâ€™s people making over $350000 a year. Try $800 billion. …[Continue Reading] [...]

Minnesotans have said overwhelmingly (See also: Transportation veto override) that we would rather pay for stuff now with tax dollars rather than later, with fee increases and the Republican birth tax which ensures a tax burden to all children born into the Bush/Pawlenty economy.

Running up the nation’s deficit is not leadership. It’s pandering. We have enough panderers already. We need more leaders like Ashwin Madia.

Any early-stage entrepreneur who is currently seeking angel financing and who votes for Ashwin Madia’s vision of tax policy should immediately add a risk factor disclosure to their private equity offering under the category of ” traditional after-tax returns on this interesting but high-risk venture may be slim-to-none once the Democrats control the government”.

Looks like your cut and paste skills are as good as they’ve always been…I’ve been to all the debates and heard him and he has always stated the top 2 % earners tax cuts should be allowed to expire. He has always supported extending the rest for middle class earners under $250,000. Paulsen on the other hand thinks the top 2 % earners should continue to get their tax cuts, because we all know how many jobs they have been adding to our economy…oh, I almost forgot…their extra income from the tax breaks has gone into their own pockets, while they have cut work forces, shipped jobs overseas, and established corporated headquarters in locations designed to skirt paying their fair share….but to Erik, this is good fiscal policy and he would continue it….that’s the type of out of touch leadership Erik would give us…excuse me while I go throw up! Madia, as always talks daily about the issues and his plans for our economy…he’s ready to lead in Congress.

It’s been 128 days, and still no mention of Iraq on the Paulsen for Congress website.

Incredible.

Where and why is Erik hiding? The voters would like an answer.

Madia: Fighting for ALL of us.
