MA: Mideast Contest Winnings Taxation Act (Statute)

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Before we get too excited over these new taxes, we should try to find out how much money this will actually generate. Let's keep in mind that the beer tax amendment that we have passed recently only resulted in an additional revenue of $150 million - nowhere near as much money as we need to balance the budget.

I understand the need for revenue, but I don't think that it's entirely fair to tax people's contest winnings.

I didn't know there wasn't a regional lottery.  Maybe I should have paid closer attention to that.  Is it too late to change my amendment to "a state lottery"?

This bill is confusing and I'm not sure I would support it anyway.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I support this amendment.
