Iโve been screaming this for months Colorado! Vote NO on Prop LL & MM!
They will stop at nothing to dismantle TABOR. They use envy and division to get you to vote their way. This will not stop at 300k. This is a precedent! It allows them to lower the bar at will until we are all paying more with zero hope of a refund ever again.
๐จ CHAINSAW CAUCUS ALERT: STOP Props LL & MM โ They're CHOPPING DOWN TABOR! ๐ช๐ฅ
Fellow Coloradans, TABOR is our shield against big gov't greed โ capping spending to inflation pop growth, forcing refunds for surpluses, & demanding YOUR vote on tax hikes. But Props LL & MM are a direct assault, turning your hard-earned cash into endless slush funds for "free" school meals!
Prop LL: Steals Your Refunds Forever
- Prop FF (2022) already jacked taxes on high earners (> $300k) for meals. It OVER-collected $11.3M interest โ TABOR SAYS REFUND IT!
- LL says NOPE: Keep ALL future surpluses in a "lockbox" for meals. No refunds, no cuts โ just permanent gov't bloat. This "de-Brucing" erodes TABOR's core: taxpayer control. Once they grab it, it's gone โ precedent for endless overrides!
Prop MM: New Tax Hike, No Limits
- Caps deductions at $1k/$2k for wealthy, hiking taxes ~$377-$560/household to fund meals SNAP. Sure, voter-approved... but dedicates $$ indefinitely, dodging TABOR caps!
- "Ballot-box budgeting" handcuffs future lawmakers โ surpluses? Kept for pet projects. Shortfalls? Raid roads, schools, YOU pay more. Drives jobs out, balloons spending to $295M/yr unchecked. Hidden hike that screws ALL taxpayers!
This duo is a masterclass in overreach: Normalize bypassing refunds, lock in revenue streams, chip away at fiscal discipline. Kids' meals sound noble? It's middle-class welfare on the wealthy's dime โ with waste like spoiled food reports!
VOTE NO on LL & MM Nov 4! Defend TABOR, wield the chainsaw against waste! ๐ช๐บ๐ธ
