WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Thirty here I fifty bot KRC Detalk station, A very

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>heavy Wednesday to you. Always welcome the return of Donald

3
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>and Neil from Americans for Prosperity, helping you help us

4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>get good positive things happening in the state of Ohio.

5
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Donald and Neil, welcome back, my friend. Good to hear

6
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>from you today, Brian, great to be with you again.

7
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And another great idea to save our salary Campaign AFPs

8
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>launched this to support a two point seventy five percent

9
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>flat tax. That sounds like a step in the right direction. Donovan,

10
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what's this going to mean if it's.

11
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Past Well, yeah, so you know we've mentioned this on

12
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the show before. Right, Ohio continues to be ranked in

13
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the pack in the number of policy

14
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>areas economic competitiveness. Tax rates are one of those areas

15
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>where we're thoroughly mediocre, and we have the opportunity here

16
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>right to put through the state budget process. This is

17
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>what we're doing right now, to call in the state

18
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Senate to get this done, to move Ohio from a

19
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.399
<v Speaker 2>top marginal rate of three point five percent to a

20
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>flat tax of two point seventy five percent. It would

21
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 2>be the lowest in the region. It would put us

22
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>an competitive foothold, and most importantly, Brian for the promises

23
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>these politicians have been making for decades now would get

24
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>us best position to begin that march to a zero

25
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>percent income tax, so we can be like Texas, Tennessee

26
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and Florida and reap the benefits of good, sound, fiscal

27
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>conservative policies in the state.

28
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, you know there's arguments against this, and

29
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Republicans dominate Columbus across the board, yet they typically don't

30
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>do the right thing, at least in terms of traditional

31
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Republican party platform things, which would mean something like this.

32
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>So where's the pushback coming from and what are the

33
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 1>reasons that are articulated for the pushback, Like we can't

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>afford to cut this to two seventy five. I'm sure

35
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 1>somebody's making that argument.

36
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Donovan. Well, that's the nice thing about our opponents on

37
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 2>this issue is their talking points, their tactics haven't changed.

38
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 2>The tactic is, yeah, it's hey, we can't afford this.

39
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>We've got all these services we have to provide. It

40
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>would be catastrophic to the state. To those folks. What

41
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>I point out, especially on the state income tax, you know,

42
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>your roads and bridges are already paid for, Brian through

43
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>your gas tax. Right, you're lost loop, Well, I'd like.

44
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>To see the numbers on that, Donovan O'Neill. How much

45
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>did they actually take in in taxes from the gasoline

46
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>tax which was raised by the wine if I recall correctly,

47
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>versus how much has actually spent out there on the

48
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>roads what they claim the total of projects are cost

49
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Because I know a lot of complaints out in the

50
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>world about the situation on our roads out there.

51
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but what I do know is they

52
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 2>keep working on this same stretch of highway by my

53
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>house over and over and over again every year. So

54
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where if they just can't get it

55
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 2>read the first time, or what it might be. But

56
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a fair question the effectiveness of it. And I

57
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>think that's an important reason why you also want a

58
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 2>flat tax. Right. The collection on a flat tax versus

59
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a progressive tax, the compliance not just for the state

60
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>but for the taxpayer goes down significantly. Right, if it's

61
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>one flat rate two point seventy five percent. You know,

62
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>if you made I'm bad at math. I'm notoriously bad

63
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>at math, Brian, Right, but you made you know, one

64
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>hundred bucks in a year, two dollars and seventy five

65
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>cents is going to go to Columbus. You don't need

66
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a CPA to tell you that. You just have to

67
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>do some very simple fourth grade maybe now seventh grade

68
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>math given our education quality this country. But well, it's

69
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the very simple math to figure that out. And so

70
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the compliance costs for individuals, employees, businesses drops, the state

71
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>gets generally sees a higher share. We see this on

72
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the federal level with the Trump tax cuts. When they

73
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>simplified the federal tax code, more money came in. Not

74
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>because people were happy to pay more taxes, it was

75
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>easier to comply, and so that the government the people

76
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>got a better share of the money that was needed

77
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>to be owed to the government. It's kind of walk crazy,

78
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>but it make it works. So that's the idea behind

79
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>this is simplify the tax code, make Ohio competitive, and

80
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>really put us on a path to excellence.

81
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, I trust all how it has a version

82
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of the CBO of the the numbers and the impact

83
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>on two point seventy five percent versus I. Honestly, Donovan,

84
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember what our current tax rate is

85
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>in Ohio.

86
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're down to two brackets two point seventy five, well,

87
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>zero percent up to the first twenty six thousand dollars

88
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 2>you earn. After that you have a two point seventy

89
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>five percent rate up to around ninety seven ninety eight

90
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars on the income for an individual or a

91
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 2>married filing jointly, and then above that ninety seven or

92
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>so thousand dollars is a three point five percent rate.

93
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>And so this is something right too, that our opponents

94
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>will make arguments about in saying, well, this is only

95
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>going to benefit the wealthiest of the wealthy, right, the rich,

96
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the rich folks, the twelve billionaires maybe we have living

97
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio, right, But the reality is, you can very easily,

98
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>in a simple family of four, right, a father who's

99
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe a police officer and a mother who's a teacher,

100
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 2>with a few years of experience, easily get to that

101
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 2>top marginal rate right over ninety seven thousand dollars right

102
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>filing jointly. And so this getting to a flattox, the

103
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>two point seven percent truly helps allow highlands, especially those

104
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>working class middle of Highlands, middle class of Highlands who

105
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>are just trying to keep.

106
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Their head above water.

107
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Yep, coming out of four years of bidonomics.

108
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, and if it does cost some belt tightening and columbus,

109
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>then that's good. That's always a good thing. Donovan and Neil,
