Asked About Offshore Tax Havens, MN State Rep. Tells Everyone to Accept Jesus
May 25, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Yesterday, the Minnesota House of Representatives was debating whether or not to pass an amendment to a omnibus tax bill that would have closed offshore tax loopholes. As it stands, companies can use that loophole to avoid paying taxes in the state, which means there’s more pressure on working class citizens to make up the difference.

Democratic State Rep. Paul Thissen, who supported the amendment, had a fairly straightforward question for Republican State Rep. Abigail Whelan, who opposed it: “… Do you think benefiting people who are hiding money in Liberia is worth raising taxes on your own constituents?”

She didn’t even try to answer that one.

Instead, Whelan used her time to tell everyone about Jesus.
