Democrats in the Colorado Legislature are trying to keep your TABOR tax refunds… forever!
That’s what Senate Bill 135 would do, allow the State Government to keep tax money that would otherwise be refunded to Coloradans.
And to make matters worse, big-government activists are pushing a ballot measure that would create a “punitive income tax,” where those who earn more will be punished by having to pay higher taxes.
These schemes are coming at a time when Colorado’s business community is crying for help.
Employers are leaving the state, Coloradans are having trouble finding high-paying jobs, and the big-government activists both inside and outside the Capitol are trying to make things worse.
Thankfully we have Nash Herman, a policy analyst at the Denver-based Independence Institute.
Nash has been sounding the alarm over these proposed tax increases through his articles, which can be found at Complete Colorado and the Independence Institute’s website.
In this video, Nash dives into these tax increasing measures and explains what’s happening with these attempts to take more of our money.
