Grok AI calls Martin Armstrong's Bluff

Here you can put Martin Armstrong's claim that he has  The only fully functional AI System in the World to the test.

To set the stage, it already happened in the context of The Martin Armstrong Scam on Zero Hedge.

The test was carried out during a recent conversation on 26 March 2025 at:

Mississippi just eliminated it's income tax per https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/americas-current-economy/mississippi-eliminates-income-tax/

The author re-published the entire content of Armstrong's entire blog page that you can read here:

Mississippi Eliminates the Income Tax  

After getting challenged by another person, the author conceded:

Thanks for the info - I did not intend to "promote" him, but thought that the news was pertinent, and factual.  Since you brought up past fraud (of which I was unaware), I did a (GROK) query:

The result of the query is as follows: 

As of today, March 25, 2025, Mississippi has not fully eliminated its state income tax, but it has taken significant legislative steps toward that goal. The article from Armstrong Economics, dated March 23, 2025, states that "Mississippi lawmakers have finally removed the state income tax," suggesting a completed action. However, a closer look at recent developments indicates that the process is phased and not yet fully implemented.

In March 2025, the Mississippi Legislature passed House Bill 1, known as the "Build Up Mississippi Act." This bill outlines a gradual elimination of the state income tax. According to reports from multiple sources, including Mississippi Today and WAPT, the plan reduces the current 4% flat income tax rate by 0.25% each year until it reaches 3% by 2030. After that, the tax will continue to decrease based on specific revenue triggers—namely, when state revenue exceeds 85% of expenses—until it is fully phased out. Governor Tate Reeves is expected to sign this bill, having expressed strong support for eliminating the income tax, but as of this date, there’s no confirmation that he has done so yet.

Additionally, the legislation includes other tax adjustments to offset the revenue loss: it cuts the grocery sales tax from 7% (the highest in the nation) to 5% effective July 1, 2025, and incrementally increases the gas tax by 9 cents per gallon (from 18 cents to 27 cents) by July 2027. These changes aim to shift the tax burden away from income and toward consumption, though critics argue this could disproportionately affect lower-income residents.

The Armstrong Economics article’s claim that Mississippi "joins Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Texas, and Wyoming" in eliminating the income tax is premature. Those states currently have no state income tax, whereas Mississippi’s elimination is still in progress and contingent on future economic conditions. The process could take years, potentially extending beyond 2030, depending on revenue performance.

In summary, the statement is partially accurate but overstated. Mississippi has legislated a phased elimination of its income tax, recently passed by both the House and Senate, but it has not yet "eliminated" it as of March 25, 2025. The process is underway, not complete. For the most current status, confirmation of the governor’s signature would be needed, which isn’t explicitly reported as finalized in available sources as of this date.

  The author then comments:

2030?  sounds like a long ways out! ...

I'd say the article is misleading at best... sorry about that.
