Reasons to Give the Surplus Back
The Center of the American Experiment give reasons for giving the Surplus back, but really when you take more than what you need, it’s obvious you need to give it back. Here’s their reasons:
- Most of the $9.3 billion surplus is structural — meaning it can be used for permanent tax cuts.
- State spending is at an all-time high after increases of 8% in 2019 and 5% in 2021, including huge increases to K-12 education each year.
- The current budget is scheduled to grow another 10% in 2022-23 to $52.3 billion!
- Minnesota’s tax rates are the sixth highest in the country. In fact, our lowest rate would be the highest rate in 24 states!
- The state’s savings account ($2.656 billion) is at an all-time high and one of the strongest in the country.
- School districts, cities, counties and the state all received (and spent) billions in federal aid for the pandemic.
