Instead of tax the rich, FUCK the rich.

The top 5% of MNs (according to income) pay 43% of the state's income tax. Still think they don't pay their share?

Maryland passed a surcharge on millionaires in 2008. In 2009, they collected $100 million LESS in income taxes and had 1000 few filers from this group. Still think it doesn't affect the rest of us by taxing the rich more? They will move.

The legislature and Dayton agree on the majority of the budget yet Dayton prefers the shut-down to signing the parts they agree upon.

GOP's need to stop protecting their rich buddies and the people of Minnesota are SICK OF IT! Job creators my ass! Giving the rich a break on taxes DOES NOTHING to protect or create jobs! The stimulus (basically theft from the taxpayers) Cost $278,000 per job created... WAKE UP! Stop providing welfare for the rich on Minnesotans backs!

@braindeadliberals - What a brilliant and original comment. Why of course, now that you've explained it in such erudite terms, I agree with your every word. Why I didn't think of such carefully considered and deeply philosophical wisdom on my own, I'll never know. Obviously, you are a clever, cultured and highly educated genius to have such marvelous and original thoughts, and to use such deft and nuanced language.

@minnesotaniece: marx dayton is brain-dead piece of shit who keeps spouting the same things: Tax the "rich". (whoever they are). The GOP COMPROMISED by agreeing to INCREASE SPENDING by 6% to 34 BILLION dollars during the next 2 years, but that's not enough for marx dayton and his zombie leftist handlers. Nothing in the dfl budget cuts ANYTHING or helps ANY TAXPAYER. marx dayton should be a robot, MORE TAXES, MORE SPENDING, MORE TAXES, MORE SPENDING, MORE TAXES, MORE SPENDING....

The title should've been: Governor Marx Dayton: Keeping Minnesota DOWN.
