Why donate to the Taxpayers League of Minnesota?

Because without your support this year Minnesotans would have seen billions of dollars in new taxes or worse, a prolonged and destructive special legislative session that would have sent our national tax ranking back into the top ten.

But with your help, the Taxpayers League and a small group of conservatives were able to hold back the liberal tax and spend agenda. You know the liberals will be back when the Legislature reconvenes in February. And you know they will make another attempt to make Minnesota's income tax rate the highest in the nation. So until then we need to prepare for their next assault - we need to make sure that Minnesota taxpayers can rest easy knowing their life, liberty and property are safe for few more months.

Over the last ten years, the Taxpayers League of Minnesota has been at the center of the struggle to keep taxpayers from giving an ever greater share of their hard earned money to government. We can't claim to have won every fight, but ask yourself this: without the Taxpayers League, who would do the fighting?

If you're a past supporter and are coming back to help us again, thank you. And if you're a new supporter of the Taxpayers League, welcome. Your help is absolutely critical to our efforts as we promote a responsible agenda in Minnesota. But please stay tuned. The tax grab never stops.

As always, we are delighted to call you a friend of the taxpayer.

The case against raising taxes

Thanks to the Minnesota Business Partnership understanding the case against raising taxes has never been easier. In "Why Not Raise Minnesota's Statewide Property Tax?" and "Why Not Raise Minnesota's Personal Income Taxes?," the Business Partnership makes the case that our current levels of taxation are more than adequate to fund our state's priorities. Each of the two-page flyers are easily formatted for printing and perfect for mailing to state legislators who may not understand that onerous taxation will only drive jobs and resources to other states.

By Phil Krinkie

On Tuesday, April 22nd in front of a House Taxes Committee hearing packed with onlookers, lobbyists and a clutch of the ever-available “down-on-their-luck construction workers,” legislators listened to a yet another proposal to flush taxpayer money down the Mall of America’s “Phase II” development toilet. This year’s version of the legislation calls for the diversion of $4.5 million per year from a pool of property tax dollars to fund a $204 million parking ramp. Though the parking ramp will only make up 11% of the total proposed expansion, supporters of the plan are threatening that without the subsidy the project won’t move forward.

Taxpayers League "Hero of the Month"

January’s Taxpayers League “Heroes of the Month” are the only two members of Minnesota’s entire Congressional delegation to vote against the 2007 Energy bill: US Representatives John Kline and Michele Bachmann.

Just before Christmas, Congress got motivated and passed the Renewable Fuels, Consumer Protection, and Energy Efficiency Act of 2007. If there could be a worse piece of legislation that purports to rid us of our addiction to foreign oil, then we haven’t seen it. The bill, that President Bush signed into law last month, mandates unnecessary increased fuel economy standards on auto makers, contains more than $21.5 billion in tax increases over ten years, will most assuredly stifle American energy production and creates dozens of new government programs and federal mandates – including an Office of Climate Change and Environment within the Department of Transportation.
For the complete wrap on this monstrous piece of filth and irresponsibility, click here for the RSCs Legislative Bulletin and here for a Web Memo from the Heritage Foundation.
