Local radio station had call-ins on the results of a local vote...people rejected raising sales tax from 6.5% to 7% to build a new baseball stadium. One of the people on the show stated that existing tax revenue can go to better uses, such as school improvement . He basically said that it is ludicrous to pay for yet another stadium when that takes bread out of kids' mouths (referring to cutting of various programs to pay for corporate welfare). So far, so good...I disagree with some of his reasoning but have much the same stand anyway.
The moron running the show then says: "Well, let's just raise taxes! Spending existing tax revenues is bad, but raising taxes improves quality of life and doesn't take bread out of kids' mouths."
Huh? Raising my taxes improves my life? Sometimes I wonder how these folks manage to function witout a full-time nurse reminding them to breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breath out...
