Prop MM: Raise Taxes for School Meals

Lower the state tax deduction limits for taxpayers earning $300,000 or more from $12,000 to $1,000 for single filers and from $16,000 to $2,000 for joint filers, increasing $95 million in taxes annually to support the Heathy School Meals for All Program. The purpose of the measure is to ensure the state’s two-year-old Healthy School Meals for All program, which provides free school meals to all Colorado students, has enough money to operate.

Yes - 57.4%

To me, it sounds like they quickly ran out of other people’s money, and I’m now looking for more other people’s money. Being in Colorado, full of useful idiot, hippies, this really isn’t a surprise.

At times likes these it’s worth remembering some of Tocueville’s words...

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

That figures. I’m much more worried about the next election, when we will get the disgusting fatass Jena Griswold as attorney general.
