really makes you think...

That's it, I'm a #ClintorisMissle now

Go ¡JEB!

Can you source this?

Brb getting on my computer to shit on your argument

But that's Impossible

chegmate rebuplicans

Nice source faggot

Based Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party. You want this shit? Vote Boinee. Then check out what some other states had to suffer through when they banned mexican field workers

the wealthy being 150k for a single person and 250k for couples. People making this amount are middle class these days.

>Minnesota

Basically a bunch of white ethnic norwegians and germans. Like 95% white.

Social democracy and high taxation works when people work. White people goes to work.

Minnesomalia is shit tier. Try harder. Oh, and great source.

Incoming argument against OP's retarted pic

Minnesota is shit

Gibson attributes Minnesota’s recovery to three of Governor Dayton’s policies: raising the minimum wage, raising taxes on the wealthy, and guaranteeing equal pay for women. But these changes were all quite small, and none corresponded with the turnaround in Minnesota’s employment, suggesting that they could not have been the cause.

Consider Governor Dayton’s plan for raising Minnesota's minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2018. Under Dayton’s plan, the minimum wage is set to rise gradually:

[Prior to August 2014] Minnesota law set the minimum wage at $5.25 for companies with annual revenues up to $625,000 and $6.15 for companies that have revenues of $625,000 or more. The new law will change the threshold for small and large businesses to those making more or less than $500,000 in annual revenues. For those above that line, the wage will go from $6.15 per hour to $8. The small employer wage will go from $5.25 per hour to $6.50.
Considering that the federal minimum wage (which covers almost all hourly workers) is already at $7.25 per hour, a $0.75 increase in Minnesota’s minimum wage, applicable only to workers earning less than $8 an hour at businesses grossing more than $500,000 a year, isn’t exactly a radical move, nor would its effects be visible in raw employment data. Moreover, the minimum wage increase only went into effect in the summer of 2014, almost four years after Minnesota's job market began to recover.

>Part II soon

Similarly, the Women’s Economic Security Act, which guarantees equal pay for women working for state contractors (not businesses in general) by certifying that they are in compliance with non-discrimination laws that already exist, wasn’t put into effect until May 2014.

And Dayton’s tax hike, which increased the top marginal tax rate by 2 percent? That didn’t occur until 2013, and it only increased state revenues by $1.1 billion (or 0.35% of Minnesota GDP).

In fact, all of the policies Gibson praises were implemented well after Minnesota started experiencing its impressive job growth, and they weren’t especially ambitious in the first place."

For the record this isn't just a WAC copypasta is it?

Why do foreigners care about the us so much? I couldn't give a fuck less about the states next to mine let alone a country on another continent

Minnesota would be a great place no matter what you did. The people there are genetically superior to everyone else true story.

test scores are flat, while education spending has increased 10X faster than inflation.

Spending more on education does not work.

Hence the refusal for zionist brainwashing. Also. Nice upside down number of zionism

sure, until the rich have completed their research of possible new locations

Thanks user. For a second I thought my whole worldview was going to crash all around me

>none of this meme is true with the exception of the tax hike
Good job Straya.

>Consider a study that found that reductions in state top marginal tax rates are associated with increases in income growth for all income quintiles (and vice versa).
Is this true? If we reduce taxes on the wealthy, will everyone get wealthier?

State YOY unemployment rate change
Wyoming 1.4
Illinois 0.7
North Dakota 0.5
Indiana 0.3
Alaska 0.2
Iowa 0.2
Minnesota 0.2

wow if you steal money from people you get money
wow

brb robbing bank

What exactly do they think is the rationale for this?

Taxing rich, adding restrictions and suddenly everyone works harder due to socialist magic?

>five fastest growing states in 2015
>North Dakota
>Texas
>West Virginia (D)
>Wyoming
>and Colorado (D)

>Minnesota is at 26th, still has Governor mentioned in OP

I live in MN. Ask me anything. I suggest you ask about now the minimum wage is getting people hours cut back. Or how my licence tab prices have nearly doubled over the last few years when I have had the same car. Or about how the FUCKING STRETCH OF I-494 GOING FROM MINNETONKA TO MAPLE GROVE HAS BEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS.

Wow I wish I was middle class then..

and yet, the US is still a house of cards, and ww3 is around the corner

reee that's not middle class, my family is middle class and our household income (me, my mum, and my sister) is like 70k

What the fuck are they actually doing with 494?

No one knows, and I think they found some Indian artifacts last year so now it will never get done. The Indians do even fucking care all they ever want is to be able to legally net Walleye. But if I net a Walleye I get my boat taken away and might even get thrown in jail.

Honest question. Why do people work minimum wage jobs? Even my shitty summer job at a massively understaffed plant nursery pays $10.50/hr. That's starting salary here. And they always need more people. I mean if you want to make money you can competitively pursue higher paychecks. You can easily enter into training or education to make yourself more marketable. You can also easily save money to pursue entrepreneurial goals. I was making $12/hr working full time as a night shift baker at Panera Bread with nothing but a semester of college. That's almost as much as my girlfriend makes with a masters degree in social work. I just don't understand why anyone chooses to work at McDonalds. If they need money so badly simply pursue a higher paying job, negotiate with your employer, and make your need for higher wages known. Money is not complicated. Work hard, save, and pursue financial goals. If your goals are not financially based and instead interest based then pursue those instead, but fully expect to struggle with money unless you're a STEM nerd. My gf is a perfect example. She has a degree from an ivy league school and makes about as much as a roofer.

Why is Minnesota so much better than other states despite having so much objectively wrong with it?

> people cant just move in 2 years to new place with lower taxes
Makes you think, huh.
