Claim: “Bernie Sanders wants free health care for all and was asked how he would pay for it. His answer was raise taxes to 52% on anybody making over $29,000 per year.” (Facebook posts, 2020-02-20)
Evidence (2021-05-09): In 2018, the typical working family paid an average of $6,015 in premiums to private health insurance companies. Under this option, a typical family of four earning $60,000, would pay a 4 percent income-based premium to fund Medicare for All on income above $29,000 – just $1,240 a year – saving that family $4,775 a year. Families of four making less than $29,000 a year would not pay this premium. [...] Raising the top marginal income tax rate to 52% on income over $10 million. [...] Bernie claiming to want only 52% over $10 million is VERY different from what's actually needed to achieve Scandinavian model of anyone making $65k and over pays 60% in income tax. Especially considering the US population is 70x the population of Scandinavian countries and Bernie is pro illegal immigration now too - free shit for everyone.

Claim: “In 2021, Minnesotans were roughly five times more likely to move to Florida than vice versa” because they were “fleeing” the state under Democratic Gov. Tim Walz." (Ron DeSantis, 2024-08-06)
Evidence (2024-08-06): In 2021, almost four times as many Minnesotans moved to Florida than Floridians moved to Minnesota. This is part of a long-standing migration pattern that isn’t limited to Minnesota or Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s tenure. For years, more people move from upper Midwestern states to Florida than the inverse. Other states, some Republican-led, had similar if not higher out-migration numbers to Florida. People’s motivations for moving out of state vary, and it’s possible some may have moved because they liked Florida’s policies over Minnesota’s. Some reasons for migrating from upper Midwestern states to Florida typically include retirement, lower taxes and warmer climate, migration experts said.

Evidence (2023-03-07): In Minnesota, African Americans and American Indians die of drug overdoses at higher rates than whites. African American Minnesotans are two times more likely to die of a drug overdose than white Minnesotans. American Indian Minnesotans are seven times more likely to die of a drug overdose than white Minnesotans. These differences in overdose rates among these communities of color are due to systemic oppression and inequitable access to the resources people need to live a healthy life.

We do not need an America that represents the failed policies of San Francisco or the failed policies of Minneapolis. We do not need to see poop on the street and cities burning down. That is not a prescription for America to work its way back. And I can just tell you, as governor of Florida, particularly in that 2020–2021 period, people fled those jurisdictions. And they'd come to Florida, and they would tell me about the mismanagement, and about letting the inmates run the asylum and how that just destroyed the quality of life. And so I think it was in that period, you were five times more likely to move from Minnesota to Florida than vice versa, and that's a result of people fleeing those failed policies."

Evidence (2024-07-31): The Reformer has compiled a series of charts showing Minnesota’s trajectory on a variety of metrics, before and after Walz, that together offer a birds-eye view of the quality of life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Caveats abound: Governors aren’t kings, and have limited ability to directly shape the numbers shown here. [...] One reason Minnesota’s population growth has slowed is that more people are now moving away from the state than into it, a trend that’s apparent in many other cold, northern states. Earlier this year the Walz administration announced efforts to turn those numbers around. [...] Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Minnesotans enjoy a significant earnings premium over the average American, and that that premium has grown under Walz. In 2018, the year before he was elected, the typical Minnesota household earned roughly 13% more than the median American one, according to census data analyzed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

According to an early May 2023 KSTP-TV/Survey USA poll, Walz still has much lower approval ratings in rural parts of the state (51% in the southern region, 42% in the western region, and 46% in the northeastern region) than he has in the Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area (60% approval).
