I’m not worried about the taxes either. I’m worried about people like Mike Enzi continuing to serve in the senate.
The “Western initiative” has worked very well in neighboring Colorado. An apparently conservative candidate gets elected to office be seeming to embrace the “reforms” necessary to balance the budget, then forgets about control of spending. Raising new taxes seems to be the default setting, even if taxes have to be invented that never existed before.
It matters not about the nominal party affiliation. ALL such candidates get perverted the same way.
