The snowbird smackdown is part of a larger Dayton tax grab proposing to lift Minnesota's personal income tax rate to 9.85% from 7.85% on income above $150,000 for singles and $250,000 for joint filers. Congrats to midlevel corporate types in Edina—the Governor says you're rich. Minnesota's income tax rate would be the country's sixth highest.

Need to tax the rascals moving from NY to Florida...just to be fair. These people were born to be taxed. Hit’m hard.

We call him "Governor Goofy" for a reason.

I have an idea. Let's tax everyone's income who can spell Minnesota, since they benefit from knowing the name of Minnesota. Let's tax everyone's income for the period of time they spend driving through, or flying over Minnesota, since they benefit from the existence of Minnesota. Let's tax everyone's income for Minnesota continuing to be a part of the union since if they left the union, we wouldn't get the benefit of whatever it is that Minnesota contributes to the general welfare.

If we're going to go crazy, let's really GO!

Not picking particularly on Minnesota. I'm sure all the other states will find my ideas attractive as well.
