The only way to solve this problem is to require the government to put every single tax increase up for a vote. States which do this already have some of the lowest tax rates in the USA.
Don't they already do this in California? See the mess they are in?

Everyone wants the government programs but no one wants to spend the money to fund them.

However, this tax is nothing more than an added on sales tax.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13418072 Mon, 16 May 2005 07:50:03 EDT Re: Just wait http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13417911 pnh102 :

Maybe governments wouldn't need to hike taxes if they stopped subsidizing private enterprise.
$40 million for Comcast? That's nothing compared to the billions Penna. Taxpayers spent on free stadiums for sports teams in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh!

You forgot that after this year, if Maryland doesn't approve slot machines for the horse tracks, the Preakness will probably leave Baltimore and take with it the millions in tax dollars with it.

First the Mayor was against it but as soon as this condition came up, he suddenly wanted slots. :uhh: Guess there aren't anymore taxes to raise.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13416364 Sun, 15 May 2005 22:59:30 EDT Re: Just wait http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13416246 old_dawg :

Too bad we can't elect a trinity
By Brad Bumsted, STATE CAPITOL REPORTER, May 15, 2005

...snip...

Rendell has four responses to things, Piccola said: Raise taxes, raise fees, borrow money, gamble.

"These responses are called a Plan for a New Pennsylvania," said Piccola. He contends the Rendell administration hasn't provided the leadership or direction the state needs.

Nor is sending $40 million in state funding to Comcast for its new headquarters in Center City Philadelphia a "way to build a new Pennsylvania," Scranton said.

Rendell sent the money to Comcast after the General Assembly refused to approve an annual tax break for the company.

This should not be an 'eeeevil George Bush' vs. 'do no wrong Democrats' thread. Yes we are 'messed up', but it would be intellectually dishonest to say that it all happened in the last 5 years (since Nov 2000). We have to go back around 40 years ago to point to the root causes.

Anyway...

Point is jackass politiicans of whatever persuasion are raising the crap out of taxes and taxing every single activity of our lives--all because they are fiscally irresponsible and because WE let them get away with it.

Here in PA, our PennDOT workers were caught slacking on the job several times by local news reporters tailing them...working 1hr a day, sleeping, etc. That's poo-pooed and swept under the carpet. No big deal? Right? They claim to be "Good stewards of the tax dollar." No problem with raising taxes because of the pot holes.

As long as we-- the joe-blow drinkey-smokey-mullet-lottery-flannel-nascar people tolerate this nonsense, it will continue. We have dysfunctional people raising dysfunctional, over-medicated kids.

It's a social syndrome. We have good samaratins donating money and opening up wings of hospitals. Do you hear of those people? No...because we're too worried about who the next American Idol is going to be. We're obsessed with watching Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton slosh around all lit up making jackasses of themselves. (this qualifies the above drinkey smokey mullet comment). We have a complicit media that ignores the good things and focuses on the trash. As a side note--I honestly believe that those radicals in the Middle East couldn't give a crap about our foreign policy. They worry more about the filth coming out of Hollywood. They don't want their daughters growing up like those aforementioned women. That represents what they hate about the Western world; that's WHY they hate, and that's what drives them to radical cells.

So yes, taxing cell phones is just par for the course in our society. Up is down, down is up, the boyscouts are scumbags, the molesters and perverts are celebrated and championed. The government deserves all of our money. Maybe we should put them in charge of our healthcare. What wonderful successes Medicare and public housing are!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13406816 Sat, 14 May 2005 15:36:31 EDT Re: Just wait http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13406391 lazsheriff :
