I hate taxes!

Why does everyone think Democrats always want to raise taxes? Simply raising taxes is not a rational way to approach government.

But, what I hate worse is gutting vital programs and our public education system simply to meet a partisan platform. What we have now is a maze of fees, higher property taxes and serious difficulties for many of our state's citizens.

Send me an e-mail and let me know how you feel about this issue.
