I do not agree with the Governor. I believe we need to cut the budget even further to what is sustainable. That is what an individual, family or business does when they have less revenue. A tax & spend policy is not the road to prosperity. I will never support an income tax & will vote against politicians who support it. The income tax is the most unfair tax of all methods of taxation. One only needs to look at the federal income tax & the IRS to see evidence of it. When almost one half of the country pays little or no income tax, that means the rest of us pay the bills. Why should anyone who pays little or no tax worry about the size of the budget? He will not vote for people who will work to keep expenses low.
The Founding Fathers of our country did not believe in a direct tax on individuals or property. They supported a consumption tax. Karl Marx supported an income tax in his Communist Manifesto.
