Taxed Enough Already or Want More Government Forced Income Redistribution? We all know today is TAX DAY. This day symbolizes to many Americans the two sides of an important public policy: 1. Those who gladly pay fair taxes to support constitutional government services; 2. Those who believe ever increasing taxes are a valid method of income redistribution.
Come out this afternoon, Tuesday, April 15, 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. and join others at the Albuquerque Tea Party Tax Day Rally. The location for the main event is 6615 Menaul Boulevard NE, directly across the street from Coronado Mall. Come out and join New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) President, Carla Sonntag, who will be speaking, and have some fun on TAX DAY.

GRT May Need Reboot: The Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) in New Mexico is unique to the state. The GRT was set up as a way to bring income when a large majority of property was owned by the federal government. At one time, it proved to be beneficial to the state, but is it time to rethink things? “The problem is the world changed, the economy changed, and we haven’t changed. It’s not 1966 anymore,” said New Mexico Tax Research Institute President Richard Anklam. Read more in the Albuquerque Journal article HERE.
