Don't let Amendment One lock Iowans into a darker future that benefits only the wealthy and cuts funding for our kids, our water, our roads and public safety. Vote No!!
While many voters don't understand Amendment One well, research shows that if this is explained adequately, they're open to rejecting it.
This amendment is by the rich, for the rich. It has been pushed in many states by billionaire-backed, right-wing interest groups that want to lock in pro-business, anti-worker policies.
It is intended to lock in tax cuts that mostly benefitted the wealthiest Iowans and corporations.
80% of Iowans got only a few hundred dollars in tax relief from the flat tax. The top 1%--households making $650,000 or moreโgot more than $20,000 on average.
Supermajority Requirement = Minority Rule. A bipartisan majority working on necessary tax reforms could be overruled by as few as 17 lawmakers.
The bill requires 2/3 of elected members, NOT members present. That means a 2/3 majority is the minimum.
Schools, health care, water, and other key services will suffer.
Tax cuts for the rich have led to a budget deficit of more than $1b for the second year in a row. We are living on savings that wonโt last more than a few years.
More than half the state budget is education, and about a quarter is Medicaid. These services are already suffering from underfunding, and budget cuts will likely affect them most.
Other taxes will increase to balance the budget. Only income tax changes are affected by Amendment 1. It would still be just as easy to raise all other taxes, including: Sales tax Property tax Fees Tuition Insurance premium tax โฆand many others
To Vote No on Amendment 1, FLIP YOUR BALLOT OVER. It will be in the last section, on the back.
Iowans will see a constitutional amendment on their ballot this election. Amendment 1 asks voters if they want to raise the threshold for lawmakers to pass income or corporate taxes, or create a new i...
