Pro-tax people are idiots. All of them. And I will die on this hill. They are slaves to the state who moan, “Govern me harder, daddy.” I’m fine with a one-time sales tax at the point of purchase. That’s it. That’s all we need to fund the most basic functions of the government. Every other tax we pay is unnecessary and if it means that revenue falls short of meeting the budget, the budget is bloated and should be cut. Just like at the federal level, there is plenty to eliminate, consolidate, or trim within state and local governments.

Holy false equivalency, batman. The government cannot reposses your vehicle for not buying gas.
