Fraud Plagued System To Redistribute AR Wealth – SB2

Posted on December 1, 2020 by Conduit For Action

Senator Jim Hendren (a governor wannabe who runs as a Republican) is back again with his bill to redistribute wealth among Arkansans. The system is called the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). It is modeled on a federal provision that redistributes wealth and is known to be such a bad system the federal government has lost BILLIONS in mistaken or fraudulent claims. Although the word “earned” is used in the name, there is nothing “earned” about it. The income tax credit doesn…

There is a lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court of Arkansas that seeks to dismiss the rules promulgated by the Arkansas Department of Health at the direction of Governor Hutchinson. How have these rules affected us, and how does this lawsuit hope to repeal them? For ten months now, Arkansas has been under these “directives” from the Arkansas Department of Health, (ADH). These directives severely restricted eating establishments, entertainment venues, and many other ac…

Cut taxes for New Residents? Wonder Why?

Posted on November 24, 2020 by Conduit For Action

Governor Asa Hutchinson wants to give income tax breaks to people who move to Arkansas.[i] This means keeping your taxes higher to give tax breaks to new residents for five years after they come. Arkansas has one of the highest tax burdens in the nation, yet Governor Hutchinson prefers to give tax breaks to new residents. Why? First, how bad are Arkansas taxes? We laugh at the stupid politicians in California and New York with high taxes that are causing their residents to flee i…

Pay More for AR Legislator Benefits?

Posted on November 20, 2020 by Conduit For Action

The very first Concurrent Resolution filed for the session of the Arkansas legislature beginning in January wants federal benefits for legislators and for taxpayers to pay more in support of those benefits. Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 was filed by Senator Larry Teague, a Democrat. We suspect SCR 1 is something most Arkansas legislators want passed. We would not be surprised if Senator Teague is carrying the bill because someone in the Republican super majority said, “…

Asa Hutchinson, Joe Biden, & China

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Conduit For Action

The Trump administration has been trying to stop communist China’s efforts to influence state politicians, like Governor Asa Hutchinson. Is it any wonder that it was Hutchinson who became one of the first Republicans to urge President Trump to work with Joe Biden on a transition? (The Joe Biden whose family also made money from the Chinese communists.) Months ago, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed a meeting of governors, with Governor Hutchinson in attendan…

Tax Cut From Arkansas Republican Super Majority?

Posted on November 16, 2020 by Conduit For Action

The outlook for the Republican super majority in the Arkansas legislature to pass a tax cut in 2021 should be good. By “tax cut” we do not mean cutting one tax while raising other taxes, as has been the pattern in recent years. For example in 2019 politicians bragged on a couple of tax cuts but passed more in tax increases than tax cuts. By “tax cut” we mean the total tax law changes in 2021 are likely to result in a reduction of the tax burden on Arkansans. It is long overdo. WHY DO WE THIN…

Now that the election is over, the Arkansas Senate and Arkansas House of Representatives will be holding orientation sessions for their newly elected members. The House is larger and therefore holds a marathon five-day orientation. These sessions introduce new legislators to legislative procedures, the state budget, and other important information. It also gives the new legislators and returning legislators an opportunity to get to know one another and form bonds p…
