Today the Republican Party of Minnesota held a press conference calling for Democrats to give back the nearly $2 billion state budget surplus to hardworking Minnesotans! That surplus belongs to Minnesotans and the Democrats should give it back, not spend it. That's roughly $350 per every Minnesotan. The Democrats raised taxes by an unnecessary $2 billion, and now state government has a nearly $2 billion surplus, which they are proposing to spend! On top of that, Democrats are actually proposing to raise taxes another $6 billion on top of the $2 billion surplus!

Yes, we must all be lumped into one homogeneous blend of red so we can be easily vilified and taxed to death.

Understood.

If it’s done like the last Minnesota tax give-back, it will be given to the welfare (Democrat) voting community and the working folks will the privilege of being screwed over again.

It shouldn’t be paid back to everyone, but between taxPAYERS based on the taxes paid. But that would be fair. So it will never happen.
