Joe, an income tax does three things - pulls in revenue from out of state workers, spreads the revenue burden to a wider set of sources and puts the citizens back in intimate contact with those that spend the State funds. Today expats pay pretty much nothing, a model seen nowhere else. No income, sales taxes means mo...

Is it your brain or heart that informs you it's OK to take the money I earned with my hard work under the explicit threat of violence (don't pay your taxes long enough and see what happens)? I've never been clear why advocating for stealing more money from someone to give to someone else, in some peoples' minds, gives ...

Public school obviously didn't do you any favors.

anti-Muslim rhetoric? These daft deluded fools fail to grasp that this terrorist problem stems from Saudi Arabia and Iran waging a Holy War against each other, and what makes this a Muslim problem. There is no such thing as "Muslim allies," as this statement is as profoundly stupid as it gets.

"....everyone should pay for their share of State services..." But yet we favor an income tax....a tax where large swaths of the State citizens would end up paying zero, zilch, nada. A sales tax is the answer and would collect more revenue so those who do their best to make ends meet aren't financing the heavy users ...
