Savings & Investment: First US state to eliminate its taxes on interest, capital gains, and...

...dividends in the state.  [Taxing interest, capital gains, and dividends is punishing those who save and invest.  Additionally, it is also double taxation since the taxpayer has already paid taxes on the income they used to make such savings and investments.  In other words, we’re punishing the ant for saving for winter.]

Future Challenges: First US radio talk show host to champion this challenge and:

1) Help spearhead the state-wide petition drive within her/his state and if her/his state allows people to sign petitions online, to have a way for people to sign the petition at the show's website.  If her/his state doesn't allow online petitions, the show's website has a way for people to request referendum workers come to their homes so they can collect the person's signature and then the host/ess encourages her/his listeners to go to the show's website and make the request.

2) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect at least the minimum number of signatures needed to get the referendum on the state's ballot.

3) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win.

4) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win in a landslide (winning by at least a 2-to-1 margin).
