Open Sky Lies About LB 939

Senators Megan Hunt and John Cavanaugh Eat It

LB 939 would help the middle class workers of Nebraska because the State income tax of 6.84 percent applies to individual workers making a mere $32,210 a year.

Open Sky blatantly avoids this information in their presentations. Senators Megan Hunt and John Cavanaugh got caught up in it. These senators don’t know the tax code well and are ignoring the impact of the tax on the middle class. To these people, they are not interested in helping people, but merely interested in keeping funds diverted towards the government where they can spend it at their own free will.

Yet, they scream about the rich. Well, some of those rich people work for the government and had to be bribed to Nebraska because of the high taxes here. How do you hire an administrator, from Texas, Florida or South Dakota to Nebraska when those other states have no income tax? Local governments in Nebraska often find they have to pad the salaries to obtain good applicants, all because of the high Nebraska income tax.

If the 6.84 percent rate only applied to those making over $250,000 a year, Open Sky and these senators would have a point, but this is not the case. Please “knock on their doors” and let them know you think their arguments are absurd. I provide links below for you which have information  to contact them. Sources are further below:
