Well I would like Mississippi and all states to be more independent from requiring funds provided by the Federal government but that is not likely at this time. Ideally we would all pay less Federal income tax and more state income tax to be spent at home, without the waste of Federal oversight and regulation. Although Mississippi benefits from Federal money I would like the state to resolve the problem with under insured citizens. Lets drop the state income tax to 1% for incomes under $50,000 and have a progressive rate up to 7% (or more) for incomes over $500,000. The lower tax rate allows a low income person another $2000/yr in take home pay. The high tax rate gives the state another $10,000 per wealthy person to use for state operated healthcare assistance. These numbers may not work exactly but something could be done to help the under insured and allow Mississippi to take care of its people without more Federal interference. Maybe the state could also incentivize small businesses to provide group insurance since the group rates are discounted. Amen.
