The Arkansas Legislature is the most incompetent of all the legislatures in the 50 states. Traditionally, the vast herd of legislators are incompetent buffoons who end up being controlled by a few intelligent criminals amongst their number. The legislature has been completely and overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats for 150 years. Originally the party in power were former Confederates, which was then followed by a corrupt political machine, which was then followed by cults of personality, which was followed by bureaucratic raiders, which is now an anarchy of incompetence. The office of Governor in this state has about as much power as the Governor of Texas but where Texas has a powerful Lt. Governor Arkansas has none.

The legislature this time around raised our taxes through the roof and STILL did not manage to keep the courts out of our wallet. Go figure.

Now that they have raised our state taxes skyhigh they will say that the Bush federal tax cuts did no good in spurring our economy here. Imagine that.

This never-ending Democratic monopoly government here has no idea why we cannot attract business or industry. Businesses always look at Arkansas and Texas and end up going to Texas. Wonder why? Could it have something to do with Arkansas having an income tax and Texas having none? Duh!

The legislature has had to give Texarkana a special "border city" tax break on the income tax because the Arkansas side was DRYING UP AND BLOWING AWAY. Nobody would build anything on the Arkansas side because THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE INCOME TAX. The legislature is too dumb to understand that the pain of income tax IS SCALABLE TO THE WHOLE STATE. The effect occurs ALL OVER THE STATE....IT IS JUST MORE VISIBLY OBVIOUS in Texarkana since you can look at both sides of Stateline Avenue and SEE.

Thank you for listening, I'll go screaming into the night now.
