Save Our Borders! Sign this Petition!

I have to laugh (just before i wince) when people talk about NEW taxes for the government to try out. Laugh, because of their naivete about how the government will put them into force; and wince, because where the government will go with it in the future. We must be very circumspect when proposing tax solutions. Who suspected when that 1% income tax was proposed that it would eventually eat up as much as 90% of someone’s marginal income?  Who knew that the 2-3% state sales tax would become the monstrosity that it has become?  Answer: those who study the way governments work.  That’s who knew.

Now the Green Lantern wants to re-propose a “less objectionable” carbon tax in order to replace a not-so-advisable National Sales Tax.  Amazing!

We’d be lucky if did not end up with both.
