Good morning. It is Thursday, August 24th. It is five minutes after 10. You're listening to Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC.

Thank you so much for joining us this morning. He's Rob Kendall. My name is Casey Daniels, and if you'd like to watch us,

you can. We're on YouTube, type in Kendall and Casey into the YouTube search bar. So Rob, yesterday you did a fabulous job of spearheading that interview with Curtis Hill and during that interview,

he said that if he's elected governor, he would not impose mask mandates. And that was quite a statement. It got him a lot of attention. Yes.

Today, just recently, the lieutenant governor, Suzanne Crouch has says she wants to eliminate individual income tax by the end of her first term if she's elected governor.

Okay. Yes. We will get back into all the debate stuff in just a moment. But one of the things that I was seeing are watching the debate last night, I'm thinking to myself, there are so many people who are so focused on this meaningless junior

varsity exercise here tonight, who aren't paying attention at all to the things, the things plural that are impacting them the most. And that is the governments that run the states where they live and the governments that run the communities where they live.

And this is a great example of how if you're not paying attention, if you're not zoned in, you run Indiana is a great example of how if you're not paying attention to not zoned in, you run a real risk of electing people who do not have your interest at heart.

And because of some meaningless letter can have do con you into thinking that you are amigos or pal skis or share common interest. And this is a great example. So as you say, Curtis comes out, does that very well received interview with us yesterday picks up a lot of support people going, hey, look, the master coming back, there's a good chance, the vaccines, the whatever, we got to start thinking about voting for somebody that is going to stand up for us.

Well, Suzanne Crouch certainly can't do that silent Suzanne was she had her chance. Yeah, I mean, she could have done that wholeheartedly supportive of hulking hulking the state down doing mask mandates, you know, trying to put you in jail for not wearing a mask, et cetera.

So she has no leg to stand on with that. So what she doing, this is why we talked about the benefit of Curtis hill being in this race, because he is a person with a pulse, who is functioning like a human being, which is different than many of the rest of them.

And so her response is, well, you know, he stole the line my yesterday, I must do something I can't come out and say I'm against masking or shutting the state down.

Well, it's unbelievable. And the box Republicans put themselves in is they really don't want tax cuts. If you look at what happens in this state, the air quote tax cuts that Republicans do.

Overwhelmingly benefit a very select group of people, which is either mega corporations or very rich wealthy people who donate to these Republican politicians, and what will happen when Republicans do these modest tax cuts, whatever is they'll raise air quote fees somewhere else.

So yeah, you might have got to cut over here, but they're not cutting the government. They're not cutting expenses. They're simply figuring out a way to screw you regular person going to work each day, while in boldening their rich donor lobbyist friends, and this is why the Republicans are totally stuck on the property taxes and the gas tax, because they found two taxes in property taxes, you got to live somewhere.

And the gas tax, you got to go to work, you got to go the grocery store where you can't opt out of those taxes. They have done that by design. They have done that deliberately to screw you. So Suzanne crouches in a bit of a pickle, because well, she can't come out against masking and she can't come out against lockdowns or anything else.

So she goes, well, let's propose a tax cut. Okay, well, which one can we do? Well, we can't do the property taxes, because we're totally beholden to the angry red shirted teachers.

Can't do the gas tax, because that's our little never ending slush fund over there. So I know.

Will propose ending the income tax.

She said, who's yours need to keep more of their money to secure their livelihood in the era of Bidenomics, groceries, energy prices, interest rates, and other household expenses, have all trended in the wrong direction since 21, and I'm determined to help people in any way I can. Okay.

So seven states in the nation have no individual income tax, and this is still the second largest source of tax revenue for the state of Indiana brings in roughly seven and a half to eight billion dollars each year.

So this is going to require shifting that tax burden elsewhere. So it's just one large shell game. Is it? Yeah. So let's do a little math here. All right. Just as an example of this. Let's say
