state republicans voted to eliminate august elections citing the traditionally low turnout for elections at this time of year. but those very same republicans changed their minds this summer because presumably that traditionally low turnout would have benefitted them on this issue specifically. having said that, as of last friday more than 578,000 people had already cast their ballots, which is more than twice the number of people who voted early for the 2022 primary. joining me now is katie perris who also opposed ballot issue 1. thanks for being here tonight. i suppose congratulations are in order. this is an issue you guys fought hard for. can you talk to me about what women were telling you about ballot issue 1 and what motivated them to go to the polls in ohio, a state that is reddish if not red entirely?
lot of outside money number two here shows that the ballot measure nearly 85% of the funding that s coming from outside of ohio, i think that there are many states dealing with this in a lot of these issues that are national issues are being fought in the states but that is exactly what dog suggested and that s where it belongs. but one thing that s interesting is that the early voting surge in ohio, through friday, 578,000 people have voted by mail or in person since the early voting began, those compare that to may election were only 288,000 people voted and he said that over 700,000 votes have been cast in ohio already so who s coming out to vote? everybody, i will tell you that the grassroots enthusiasm that we have seen has been incredible, from pro-life and pro-parent members of our organization, to second amendment advocates who are worried about gun control
without giving you a number, tax rate, fair share does not really mean anything and we asked every member, not one would give us what fair share means. but on the street, we have better luck. if you make over $578,000 you pay 37%. but if you make a million, 10 million, 100 million, you are still paying 37%. what i want you to do is put in here what you think these people should pay. that s really high. i m gonna say 25%. l all the way down? no, no, ok, good, all right. 10 million, all right, all right, all right. i say 30. you actually want to lower the tax table, or the tax code. just because you make more money don t mean you have to pay more. you make 500,000 and up. maybe 31%. i don t think the more money you make the more taxes you should pay. if you are making $100 million, why should you pay the same as the dude who is making 20? because you made your way up that way.
there, we re going to ban this, ban this, and people are like, those are our jobs that people are talking about decimating entire industries where people work, they wanted to bring a little attention back to themselves. i understand. greg: does anybody know how many people already in wyoming. there are more cows than people because i lived there and dated a guy that. that s a fun fact that everybody repeated. you know i said, thank you, yes, i did hear that. you didn t date a cow? i didn t date a cow. i dated one of the humans there. i struck out. were you asking what the population was? it s 578,000. thank you, emily. how many cows? i don t know. greg: emily, you have a hot rod. this is an interesting question. you and i both have weird classic cars. what kind of car do you have? a ford mach1. how far, it has a new coyotes illuminator. here s why this is important. it is a you showed a picture, it gets better gas mileage than half the cars out there, but
it means big changes at tax time. the largest change since the reagan administration. it means lower tax rates for some in 2023. the standard deduction for married couples filing jointly rises to $27,700, and the irs adjusts the income levels from the seven tax rack kets ranging from 10% to 37%. the top rate applies to income $578,000 in change. the irs is raising the maximum contribution to your flexible spending account by 200 bucks and raising the estate and gift tax. so if you have rich relatives they can give you more money. if anyone was planning on leaving me $12 million, they can now leave me more than $12 million. this is all because of inflation that is grinding our
