| Rhode Island Dems Push Bill That Would Increase Taxes for Unvaccinated |
| 2022-04-23 |
| [TOWNHALL] State politicians in Rhode Island are pushing legislation that would require every person in the state 16 years of age and older to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and punish those who refuse to do so. Local outlet NBC 10 reported Tuesday that two state Senators have removed their names from the bill, Bill S.2552. NBC 10 noted that those who violate the proposed mandate would "face a civil penalty of $50 and shall owe twice the amount of personal income taxes." Employers would be responsible to enforce the mandate and require vaccine proof from employees or face a $5,000 fine for each worker who is unvaccinated. "Some of the senators who introduced the bill on March 1 did not want to talk about it anymore," NBC 10 wrote. State Sen. Sam Bell, a Democrat, said on Twitter that Rhode Island residents "strongly support a universal vaccine mandate" and that "it’s time for us to pass my mandate bill." |

| #1 I guess we will all just have to incorporate. Lefties say gummint "punishing" a corporation for its politics is evil. |
