Today....

80/20 Ground Beef, $1.84 per pound.

Spaghetti, $1 per box.

Prego jar sauce, $1.12 per jar.

Kroger brand butter, $2.37 per 1 pound box of four quarter sticks.

King Arthur bread flour, six cents per ounce.

Filled up the car at Kroger gas pumps, @ $2.29 per gallon.

Now, my property and school taxes have almost doubled since 2020, taking the biggest bite out of my monthly budget.

We need to limit the ability of Democrats to buy votes by placing middle-class tax caps in the federal constitution.

Enter in bills for two constitutional amendments:

******

Levies on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished living space shall be no higher than the 2019 dollar amounts for the property, or for a newer or since resold property no higher than what it would have been levied at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

******

Federal taxation on personal income shall be progressively capped as follows:
below 20% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 10%,
below 50% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 100,000 largest recipients, 35%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 10,000 largest recipients, 40%.

*****

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

The high-income people have the Laffer Curve effect to protect them.
