Rebuttal to State Income Tax

Dear Editor,

The Legislature now wants us to approve a State Income Tax. This isn’t something new. Why is it I hear this rumbling from the State Government about every ten years and from every Governor?

Let me remind the Legislature what they have done that upsets me.

This State already has one of the highest states sales taxes on gasoline and now the Legislature wants to raise it even more and the gas tax effects the poor and middle class far more than it does the wealthy. The Legislature even wants to add a tax on bottled water. I am sure, if they could, the Legislators would even like to tax the air we breathe and charge us an occupation tax for taking up space in this State. More ›

I was wondering if you would please put back the curfew on Kids under 18 yrs to be home at nite by 10 p.m. and show tough love and put them in jail (not the Youth Center) because they think they are older treat them so, then charge parents board and room. You will finely get their attention by hitting their pockets. More ›
