Andy Beshear: No consumption tax on basic needs; but ok on luxury goods

A: No. I'm not going to work to jack up the price of milk or bread for a family that is already seeing their bills go up while their wages stay stagnant. The solution to Kentucky's fiscal problems is not to put more of the tax burden on working families. The solution to Kentucky's fiscal problems is not to put more of the tax burden on hardworking Kentuckians and take it off those who have already benefited from corporate tax giveaways. I'm focused on reforms that will crack down on tax incentives to corporations that don't pay a living wage and closing unnecessary loopholes like tax breaks for private jet purchases. If you can afford a private jet, or a luxury boat, you can afford to pay a little sales tax on it. What doesn't work is the Matt Bevin approach--calling people names, bullying anyone who disagrees with him. We are better than this.

Nate Morris: DEI is an absolute scam; eradicate "woke" out of business

A: "Well first and foremost let me say this, DEI is an absolute scam and should be eradicated from society, period, and business. How do I know that I'm going to represent the people? Look, I don't owe anybody anything. I'm standing here on my own two feet. I'm not standing here because Mitch McConnell is propping me up, or PACs are propping me up, or lobbyists are propping me up. I'm gonna make sure we get the woke out of business once and for all."
