So why do some people still feel it's "fair" to pick on a minority of individuals? The answer is when the minority is the top 2 percent of income earners. In a misguided sense of justice, Gov. Mark Dayton has rationalized the acceptability of bullying a minority, since it matches his version of the greater good.
If this state really needs more money, then why not propose a sales tax increase that affects all of us equally? Sales tax in this state excludes necessities (e.g., food, shelter, clothing, medical), so by definition any purchase subject to sales tax is a discretionary purchase.
