Taxation based on vaccination?

If the government could arbitrarily double the taxes of the unvaccinated, as Rhode Island Democrats recently proposed, there would be nothing it could not do.

Though they subsequently backed away from the proposal, Rhode Island Democrats recently put forth a bill that would have punished the parents of children who were not vaccinated against COVID-19. Had the measure been enacted, it would have financially crippled these parents by doubling their personal income tax. As a further kick in the pants, it would have also required parents of unvaccinated offspring to pay a monthly fine of $50.

State Senator Samuel Bell was the lead legislator backing the bill, which would have mandated that all Rhode Island residents, workers, and taxpayers submit to a COVID-19 vaccination-- as well as any and all subsequent boosters that the state’s director of the department of health shall have required, apparently in perpetuity -- or else be subjected to pecuniary purgatory.

I know many people who have had the virus, gotten the vaccine, and got the virus again. So no, it doesn’t work and the part about keeping you out of the hospital is BS as well

Definitely. They’ll do it anyway and force someone to sue.

Something like a National Retail Sales Tax / Fair Tax would fix this.

And strip our overlords from their power! Preposterous!

Yeah that’s what I am hearing now. Good thing I was vaxed or I would have really been sick with covid. And I bet the politicians are getting regeneron like Trump did when they catch it..

Taxation (of a sort) is also how they plan to force us all to yield to the global warming alarmists, ban fossil fuels, etc. That’s the entire intent of the “social credit score,” to make it financially devastating to resist wackadoodle socialist policies.

Is there any proof that getting the vaccine helps at all?

Of course not. Moreover, there is plenty of data indicating that the mRNA treatment is harmful, both near-term and long term.

It is the perfect demonstration of power and obedience to authority. That is the purpose. It has nothing to do with public health other than using that as a rationalization to distract and confuse opposition.
