Freedom Foundation

The Freedom Foundation of Minnesota is a research organization that actively advocates the principles of freedom and limited government.

Democrats who favor Medicare for All have given Republicans a huge opportunity.

Far from hiding from the healthcare debate, Republicans should be piling on and forcing Democrats to defend their crazy idea of a Washington-run national healthcare system. Republicans should also offer a positive alternative.

There are three major reasons to reject Medicare for All.

Another list we’d prefer Minnesota wouldn’t be at the top.

[Tax Foundation @TaxFoundation]

The state with the highest combined corporate income tax rate is New Jersey at 30.1 percent. In Alaska, Illinois, Maine, and Minnesota, corporations face combined corporate income tax rates at or above 28 percent.

The enormous scale of alleged fraud and misuse of public funds in Minnesota, especially in the Somali community, has become toxic for Democrats at every level in that state.

Critical internal audit shows millions of taxpayers dollars spent on "Violence Interrupters" in Minneapolis is ripe for fraud and corruption. Despite those major concerns, Minneapolis City Council stunningly is balking at cuts to the program.

Minnesotans know the $9 billion of fraud isn't a federal government problem. Tim Walz, Keith Ellison and state agencies looked the other way, intimidated whistleblowers, and in some cases promised fraudsters they would provide cover.

The city of Minneapolis was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in invoices without any backup for those invoices. In the least surprising thing ever, there was zero accountability how they were spending city funds.

Accountability & oversight are four-letter words in Minneapolis. Five years in, the city STILL lacks consistent site visits, adequate invoice records, and safeguards against political interference.

The cuts are to fraudulent enrollees. Why aren't we hearing about that from most media reports? From the @WSJ editorial: The Trump Administration is doing good work by dropping 760,000 ineligible enrollees.

760,000 ObamaCare enrollees had no Social Security or immigration numbers, paid no premiums and filed no medical claims. Yet taxpayers were footing their bills. ObamaCare has a fraud problem, not a coverage problem. Glad to see the Trump administration cleaning up the mess.

Data like this is why we say we're embarrassed to be from Minnesota! Fraud at this level isn't happening in every state -- only in Minnesota where our Democrat "Leaders" have turned a blind eye to this theft for decades. Yes, we're embarrassed and it's time for a change on 11/3

States with no individual income tax (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, and others) consistently rank among the strongest gainers, while states with the highest top rates (California at 13.3 percent, New York at 10.9 percent, and New Jersey at 10.75 percent) dominate the list of largest losers.

Democrats often ask how to replicate Mississippi’s success; they ask if it’s possible at all, given the power of teachers’ unions in their home states. “You’ve done your work in a red state. Do you really think blue states can do this?” https://t.co/0x0e1XQWBM

Why in Minnesota are we protecting the fraudsters more than our taxpayers?!

Hennepin County and the Met Council are engaged in a serious game of reverse tug of war regarding who's going to foot he latest bill in this $3.5 BILLION BOONDOGGLE.

Minnesota's gas tax is the 21st highest in the U.S.

[Tax Foundation @TaxFoundation]

Gas taxes affect the lives and finances of most Americans.

States levy taxes on fuel in a few different ways, including sales taxes, excise taxes per gallon purchased at the pump, and taxes on wholesalers or retailers, which generally get passed on to consumers via increased prices. These taxes, combined with a myriad of fees (e.g., underground storage tank fees), add to the price consumers pay at the pump.

How does your state compare? https://t.co/rnQZcgx6fJ

Money well spent??
For total federal dollars, Hennepin County saw more than $286 billion in federal spending committed to it during the 18-month period examined. That is the most of any county nationally and accounts for about 4.7% of the roughly $6 trillion tracked in the study.

Minnesota needs this relief! Tabs fees for a two-year-old Chevy Tahoe in Wisconsin are under 100 bucks. That same vehicle in Minnesota costs more than $1,000 a year for tabs! Insane!!

More than half of Minnesota students can’t read or do math at grade level and Teachers Union is boycotting a store. Completely unserious. https://t.co/sPD5W0layr

It will be interesting to see if more Democrats realize the socialists they allowed into their party aren't actually a part of it. https://t.co/RlCgXFaPAF
