This tax plan is for all these people. But change can be scary. And change this big tends to bring out the protectors of the status quo. My goodness, if you listen to the protestors you'd think that if my budget passed I might have to call out the National Guard and declare Marshall Law. But in fact, much of the extreme reaction you hear is the fear of change.
Objective observers are fairer.
My administration worked hard on this plan and it shows. It's major tax reform with major tax relief. It's a package that reworks our tax system so it is fairer to you as taxpayers and makes Minnesota business more competitive in local and world markets. It's a package that must be viewed in all its parts. It's like a fine woolen sweater that if you pull out a thread or two the sweater will fall apart.
