So, now that you're saying what would happen with these scenarios, can you give us any advice about what to do?

[hawkeye59]

Fine, we will raise taxes by 3-5%, depending on income

Advice?  Take a moment to be serious.  What do you think should be done to drop unemployment?

My entire reason for entering this thread was to ask about where the money was coming from.  Do you guys have a surplus or will taxes have to be raised or programs cut to fund that bill?  Does the Midwest even have a budget?

Woah. Now hold on lil doggie. We don't play that way here in th MW.

Let's sell Montana to Canada.

How about Wyoming instead? There are no citizens there.

[hawkeye59]

6% for people, 8% for businesses. We will raise business by 4%

[hawkeye59]

The midwest has flat taxes?  So much for progressivism

Midwest Revenue
Personal Income Tax 6%
Business Income Tax 12%

So great, now the region will collect more revenue.  That's also more money coming out of mid-westerners' pockets.  And this is to pay for the $120,000,000 in handouts?  You might want to look into how much money those taxes will actually raise and what obligations need to be paid.

As of now, I don't see any real reason for Midwest unemployment to decrease.

Fine
raise the rich's taxes by 6% to 14%

[hawkeye59]

By rich I mean over 300,000$
