Rhode Island Democrats Move to Double State Income Taxes on Unvaccinated Residents
Democrat lawmakers in Rhode Island have introduced a bill that would coerce state residents to be injected with a COVID-19 vaccine or face the penalties of a monthly fine and double their payments on state income taxes.
On April 18 Rhode Island State Sen. Sam Bell (D) cited a recent poll that claimed 64 percent of state residents said everyone should be required to be vaccinated.
“Cases are rising again,” he tweeted. “Surrender isn’t working.”
