Great job the taxes are in appropriate areas and are well thought out. Another example of why the Dems are in power and will stay that way. Great Job!

Hobbledeyhoy, you lost any credible point you may have had by throwing homosexual profane slander at those who disagree with you. It only demonstrates that you are a liberal extremist.

Make your own soda pop with Splenda, sugar free latte syrup, CO2 and water. Heck of a lot healthier and cheaper. Don’t suck on taxable burning weeds. Booze? I went to Sharie’s today, the waitress asked if I wanted desert once but if I wanted liqueur twice. I pointed at the cars out the windows and said “We all drove here.” Sucking on cancer, pickling our brains – often while driving is stupidity beyond reason. As is blowing up our diabetes ridden waist lines with corn syrup is plain foolishness. I am tired of paying for other peoples carelessness, self inflicted bad health and reckless driving. I have no sympathy for the sinfully stupid. Thank you Governor.

Oh yeah, that’s what I want, a nice progressive income tax. Yessiree. A nice progressive income tax that will never leave us with budget shortfalls ever again. LMAO RFLMAO No such thing, never has been and never will be. You give in to an income tax and pretty soon you’ll have that and sales taxes. Taxes don’t go away. Do you really think any of these taxes will go away in 3 years. H**L NO. You and I both no in 3 years they will have something else that they want to fund and guess where they’ll find the money. That’s right, extend the temporary tax and make it permanent.

The only alternative to these taxes is totally turning our back on the poor. The teabagger conservative types believe the poor deserve to be poor and that they brought it on the themselves, so they don’t deserve any help. Fortunately, the governor and the majority of the citizens realize we cannot turn our back on the less fortunate in our society, especially at a time like this. I ask anyone who wants to have a budget without a tax increase this: what program do you want to cut and how much? It’s very easy to criticize taxes. It’s very hard to balance a budget at a time of decreased revenue- decreased revenue that wasn’t causes by Washington’s leaders but by the global financial crisis.

If I led the state though, I’d get rid of the sales tax and switch to a progressive income tax, and design it in such away there would never be budget shortfall issues again.

I’m getting off pretty easy here. The only 1 that will impact me is bottled water (instead of pop, I drink Seltzer water/club soda) which has been untaxed until now.

First of all, why do they do this on a Saturday.
Second, how do we recall a Governor?
