The Top-Secret Tax Bill

  Senators Jolley & Treat, along with Reps. Sears & Casey; are keeping the details of this super top secret bill off the records of the state capitol. The rumors are swirling and they are extremely troublesome to Oklahoma taxpayers. 
  Media reports claim that the bill (currently a 'shell bill') will eventually include a wide range of new taxes, including sales taxes charged on many services.

We wrote about it earlier this week.

Legislature Taxing Emergencies & Double-Taxing Services This man's towing service may soon have to cost Oklahomans a lot more money; making his industry a lot less affordable, in Oklahoma. This week, the Oklahoma legislature is going to sneak several new taxes into existence. They will add massive new levels to current tax rates. They will make your next crisis cost you so much more.   Rep Jason Murphey discloses in his latest blog that the House leadership is set to push through a new tax on many services. Things like that roadside tow when you slid off the road; perhaps because you were taking a sick child to see a doctor on an icy day? Oh yeah, the physician's services may also be taxed.   All of these service providers already pay hefty income taxes on the business they operate. But the service providers are being singled out for a double tax on their work.   When your parent's home air conditioner breaks during the next August heat wave, it may be more expensive to get them life-saving relief. Not because the serviceman is greedy, but because unionized educators want the legislators to find someone else to pay their next massive pay raise.

Rep. Jason Murphey insists that the legislature was fully knowledgeable about this budget trainwreak when they rushed through last years budget and went home a week early.

 This will make your crisis even more painful. Accessing relief from a medical crisis or roadside emergency may become beyond the reach of many Oklahomans.

  The legislature has turned about-face in their former strategy to grow our economy and expand prosperity through a lowering of taxes to stay competitive with Texas and Kansas; both of whom eliminated all income taxes and are seeing better days than Oklahoma.
