I am more than happy to pay my fair share of taxes.
In my opinion, our taxes should be allocated to -
Fire and Police services – We need more money for cops and less for Bums and criminals. These are the Good Guys.
Prisons – People, look at what Sherrif Joe is doing in Arapaho County, AZ. Model prison. Minimize expenses here.
Military Forces – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and US Coast Guard.
Roads and Highways – Built by private contractors. It will come in under budget and on time, every time.
Education – Eliminate the WEA and give parents school choice. Competition is good, here.
We should have a flat tax system that allows us to allocate our tax money where “WE THE PEOPLE” see fit.
People, Reject all new taxes. Legislators, make budget cuts and cut taxes.

Cut wastefull spending first. Then cut out all but essential services that Government is actually responsible for. No more taxes.

In my opimion, all you have to do is click on the sponsor’s name and check their previous legislation to find out if what they are proposing is bad legislation. Expect a lot more of these to come. They will not let up and neither can we. Resist all Government regulation. We have more than we know what to do with.

Good grief. Everyone has financial woes. I have to cinch my belt and cut back on expenditures. Why don’t our elected REPRESENTATIVES think that way? Because it’s easy to spend someone else’s money! I am absolutely OPPOSED to this bill and think the sponsors would do more good cutting pork out of the state’s budget instead of transfering the burden to counties and cities. Oink, oink, oink.

It has become entirely too easy for government to increase taxes. There should be a vote of the people for tax increases or at least a super majority. but only a simple majority to lower them.
WE THE PEOPLE are sick and tired of governments that haven’t seen a tax increase they don’t like.
It’s about time for another revolution.
