Since I hope this tax never happens. I'll never know for sure if these numbers are correct
Money raised taking into account the overall DROP in all spending state wide. 2.72 billion. Loss of private jobs 43,210 add back 15,430 government jobs which in reality because of higher benefits will actually be equivalent to 11,332 private jobs add back the 18,666 new public assistance cases (Phil Barnhart and friends call them cases I call them people screwed by greedy bureaucrats) and the negative impact really grows fast. So if taxpayers and voters yes  there are thousands of voters who do not pay taxes  with just a few off the cuff numbers it's easy to show why the only benefit is to bureaucrats. And the second year remember every man woman and child is on the hook for about $600 each year and that money is forever lost to the public. How many years with a growth rate of the state economy  at an adjusted rate of 1.7% will it take just to get back to where we started?
