More taxes from Mr. Schuaer....who could have guessed...this is what we will see in Washington D.C. from...that is just what we need.

Mr. Schuaer sure knows how to raise taxes...can he do anything else?

But the knee-jerk "no more taxes" attitude expressed so often irks me. It is not that I like paying taxes, any more than anybody else does. Writing the check always stings. Of course, a lot of things that sting momentarily are good things to do in the long haul. At least when dealing with local tax levies, like the one proposed here, local citizens have the opportunity to say "yes" or "no" to a tax proposal. We always hope voting folks will give full and rational consideration to what really is in the best interest of their own communities. Still, the system also allows the knee-jerkers to have their say.

Where are the legislators who would put forth bills to REDUCE TAXES! We need to downsize the State bureaucracy and align it with the tremendous job losses in Michigan.

"But the knee-jerk "no more taxes" attitude expressed so often irks me." We need gobs and piles more knee-jerk "no more taxes", "no more spending / borrowing / stealing", "no more trough-gobbling", "no more gubment-bloating", "no more liberty-extinguishing" attitudes exactly like that. Schools should be about RRR and no more. Not babysitter, social worker, welfare office, old-folks entertainment club, porno store, etc.
