An “I’m not taxed enough already” fund?
GOP state Rep. Peggy Scott and GOP state Sen. Amy Koch introduced legislation that would allow taxpayers to mark a box on their tax return and dedicate an amount to a fund "for Minnesotans who think they are not taxed enough."
"There are many voices on the left calling for higher taxes," Scott said in a news release. "They say they are willing to pay more, so I want to give them that opportunity,"
Scott says other states including Arkansas and Virginia have set up such funds. She said Arkansas gathered $2,077 in contributions from 56 taxpayers between 2001 and 2005.
