L.C. 9.9 - Lincoln Budget Fiscal 2021

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

Good to see that we are out of the red, but there are bills with additional spending to score, which might put us back in there. I still prefer my amendment given that, but we should wait for those bills to be scored.

...my bill to give tax cuts by making the poor, pay their fairshare.

The estate tax in Lincoln is abolished
The death tax in Lincoln is abolished
The inheritance tax in Lincoln is abolished
Lincoln property taxes shall be cut by 30%
Lincoln sales taxes shall be reduced by 2%
Lincoln gas taxes shall be reduced by 5%
Lincoln state income tax shall have three brackets
Brackets with rates:
Greater than $150,000: 25%
$50,000-$150,000: 15%
Less than $50,000: 45%
Lincoln shall raise taxes on all welfare benefits by 70%

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

TAX Calculation Update

Hey, so per Encke on discord, the multiplier for corporate tax isn't .3166, it's .36. Apparently the multiplication wasn't performed correctly last year. Also the modifications need to be applied to each line, and not just cumulatively at the end. So here's both amendments recalculated, and without objection they are modified to these forms. I also added the two bills that I posted scores for above.

Additionally, L.C. 7.8 enacted a raise in the Carbon Tax rate of 4% each year. So multiply both sides by 1.04. Value is reflected below.

So as you can see, with these latest modifications added to the calculations, our surplus continues to improve.
I will be handing over a bunch of bills to the Comptroller general to further expedite the scoring process.
Oh, and regarding the "one time additional spending area" - obviously that amount needs to be updated with more current bill numbers and a more current amount. This is something that will be resolved as the scoring continues.

[KaiserDave]

In accordance with my pledge I will vote against any budget that imposes a new sales tax or that cuts spending to vital services. Given that there are no sales tax or cuts, I tentatively find the current draft agreeable. Although I have plans for new spending after the budget.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

To be clear, all remaining legislation to score has been passed off to the Comptroller General and we await his response.

[S019]

So now that we have scores time to update this

PROJECTED DEFICIT SURPLUS -  $56.443602 B -206.629398 bn

Scores for my amendment, given the giant cost of L.C. 7.7, I think we have no choice but to go with my plan

Unsure as to whether L.C. 7.8 is an expense or revenue maker, PM'ed the CG, hopefully he gets back to me soon, but this is where we stand. Also couldn't figure out how to score the tourist tax, but I doubt it will cover our new deficit.

Withdrawing my amendment

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Okay, so here's where we are at this point - there are a few bills that we need the comptroller general to still give us scores on, but I think we're at a pretty good estimate at this point. I won't be calling a final vote ahead of final business in case we can introduce another amendment with more calculations ahead of that point, however I do think we need to finish preparing the bill for that vote:

Accordingly, are there any objections to adopting the S019 amendment in its latest form?

Also going to propose a wealth tax increase, since I think we've maxed out on the income taxes, idk how to score it though, and I'm lost trying to figure out what happened last time.

For the wealth tax I just took the amount from last year, divided by 3 to scale back to 1%, and multiplied by 10 to hit 10%. Probably not exact, but good enough.

Unless we get a number on the Tourist Tax and Pink Tax and they're great, we'll be approving a deficit, but with covid, I guess there's no way around it.

[KaiserDave]

Fellow Councillors, with all due respect this budget is a financial bomb ready to blow. The tax system is unwieldy, chaotic, and frankly the taxes are too high. The taxes are high and we're still running a deficit. While I support funding our hospitals during a pandemic and keeping rural hospitals, hundreds of billions of dollars is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer funds that is vulnerable to avarice and corruption. The hospital grant bill was an overcomplicated bill that was poorly understood and is now threatening our fiscal solvency.

I propose readjusting the tax brackets to create more tiers for the wealthy, and reallocating this grant money towards tax relief for the poor who are dealing with an unfairly high rate of tax, and towards paying down this deficit.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Okay, yet again we modify the S019 Amendment, and thus the 24 hour clock to object to it restarts.

Here is what we are doing:

- Defunding the Hospital Relief Act. We don't have time (at least not in this council) to formally repeal/reorient it. For now, we simply aren't going to enforce it or carry out its provisions. Therefore, no money is spent.
- Some of the previous budgets included an inflation adjustment to the spending. However, after some thought, this was 1) unscientific, and 2) would have to be done to the revenue side as well to make sense. Adding something to both sides doesn't have any effect, so really no point. So all references to that have been removed.

This, with math corrections in the Health Area and the Other Area, gets our spending down to about $785 Billion.

- Eliminating the Wealth Tax. Again, not repealing its underlying legislation, we simply won't be collecting the tax.
- Removing the income tax for anyone making below $50,000
- Removing the Gas and Diesel Taxes that were passed by the Third Council. As their underlying legislation was already repealed, the budget was the only thing keeping them in place, so we can simply remove them from the budget. The more recent Flat Gas Tax will remain in place.

This does take our revenue down pretty significantly, but without the extra health spending, a surplus still results.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Amendment is adopted.

We'll leave the final vote for final business in case any last minute adjustment needs arise.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Okay so uh, when removing the bb code from the S019 amendment to place it in the OP, I realized I was misreading the BB code for the Carbon tax, and rather than its full revenue of $36 billion was adding about $6 Billion.

It's been corrected for the version that's in the OP and is adopted without objection.

Idk if we should remove some other taxes or keep the larger surplus to get rid of existing debt.

[S019]

Also last time the income tax was scored based on the income of the owner not the property value, so I will be sending that to the Comptroller, to be ummm fixed.

[S019]

As sponsor, I object to sending this to a vote during Final Business Period for obvious reasons

[S019]

Amendment, I got property tax numbers from the CG to change the method of collecting it to be based on property value, and calculated the old property tax values by using my calculator, so hopefully they're right? Also bringing back the wealth tax for flexibility purposes

Okay, we finally have a massive surplus, yay, waiting for some more stuff on the CG, but I think we're close to a final product now

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I support the amendment.

[lfromnj]

Has anyone actually realized the Combined margin top tax rate would be 85% ?
https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php#6
Maybe we should ask for the comptroller to grade tax revenue on the Laffer curve, and 85% would clearly be on the right side of the Laffer curve. The Laffer curve is often exaggerated but there is a clear point where it happens. There is no reason for a 15% tax increase from 39 to 45 to result in a direct 15% increase in revenue in that bracket.

Given Fremont is literally taxing people at 99.9%, this is an improvement! Also there's a massive surplus, so there will probably be some decreases to the hikes

[Former President tack50]

Why are the one time expenses from the 2020 budget still on this one?

Comptrollers already have a hard time rating things as they are, so I don't think that is a good idea. Not because I disagree with you but because it is very hard to simulate

[S019]

Going to propose an amendment to make these rates a bit more reasonable
