Democrats are pushing a new bill that would force unvaccinated people to pay monthly fines and be required to pay twice as much in personal income taxes as they would normally owe.
Under the “dystopian” Rhode Island state Senate bill, those who refuse to submit to Big Pharma and take the Covid-19 vaccination will suffer $50 monthly penalty and will pay double the taxes as a vaccinated individual in the same socioeconomic condition.
Senator Samuel W. Bell, a progressive Democrat, is the extreme leftist behind the bill, which has sparked outrage on social media. Senator Jessica de la Cruz, a Republican, has organized a grassroots campaign against the authoritarian proposal as a result.
“The reason I introduced the bill is we have a crisis with the pandemic,” Bell said Wednesday. “Thousands of Rhode Islander have died. I’ve had really painful calls from constituents who can’t go to the store because they’re immuno-compromised, who have lost loved ones to this pandemic, who are really ill and not fully recovered, suffering long-term effects.” Per Boston Globe:
De la Cruz, the Senate minority whip who dropped out of the 2nd Congressional District race last week, wrote an email to supporters on Tuesday, saying people across the state have been asking her about Bell’s bill.
“I have not, nor will I ever support, legislation that coerces Rhode Islanders into making medical decisions or face steep financial damages,” she wrote. “I hear my constituents and others around the state loud and clear – this is dangerous legislation and sends the message that our government doesn’t trust you to make the right choice for you and your family. This is an unconscionable overreach of legislative powers.”
De la Cruz said the “good news” is that the bill stands little chance of becoming law. “That said, I’m not taking it for granted, and neither should you,” she wrote.
She provided voters with the template for an email to sign and send to Bell and the bill’s cosponsors. “Senate Bill 2552 is dangerous and an unconscionable overreach of legislative powers,” the email says. “Trust Rhode Islanders to make medical decisions for themselves and their families without facing steep financial penalties.”
On Wednesday, Bell tweeted an image of an email filled with expletives, urging him to “move to communist China,” repeating unsubstantiated claims about deaths from the COVID-19 vaccine, and threatening him: “You attack our kids, we attack yours. You attack our bank accounts, we attack yours.”
In a tweet Monday, Bell noted that the Globe had reported on a survey showing “Rhode Islanders still strongly support a vaccine mandate.”
He was referring to a new survey that shows Rhode Island ranks No. 6 in the country for residents supporting a universal COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The poll from the COVID-19 Consortium for Understanding the Public’s Policy Preferences Across States found 64 percent of residents believe everyone should be required to get the vaccine.
Illegal first, and second anyone who even proposes this should be removed from office.
HAVE THE COMMIECRATS COMPLETELY LOST THEIR MIND.OLD JOE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO BECOME A DICTATOR,,JOE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS GO AFTER THE ILLEGALS THAT YOU HAVE LETGO FREE INTOMY COUNTRY,THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE UN-VACATED,OK
First of all, losing their minds was a planned event. Second there is nothing “Best” about Joe Biden. He proved that in his college years when he was caught cheating and kicked out. He does not have any abilities to do his best at anything. Wait a second. I am wrong about that. He is best at lying, cheating, stealing, and molesting children. As far as trying to be a dictator, he cant even dictate a memo.
How is this possible that the idiots are still pushing the Vaccine even after it is dying out and unneeded, plus the fact that it has also been proven to have been a hoax all along and the vaccine does not even work? The horse has been dead since birth and they are still beating it.
Rhode Island is “fixin’ to larn” the same hard lesson New York learned and in sheer dollar deficits, regrets. NY is paying through the nose in pensions diverted to other States as millions exodus from that satanic worshiping State.
Has Rhode Island also erected several Baal-related statues across its meagre acreage?
