I'll go on record with the prediction that in three years we'll see a prop on the ballot promising to 'Save education without raising taxes!' that will extend (or make permenant) this 'temporary' 20% tax hike.
Prop 100 didn't magically make more money appear in consumer's pockets. It simply spread what was already there thinner. Consumers are now buying fewer goods and services than they could have without it. This means more money going to State sponsored social programs and less going to businesses that could otherwise be providing new jobs with it.
It isn't a bridge over 'troubled fiscal waters' - it's a tunnel leading straight down into its depths.
Yes, exactly. There is no such thing as a “temporary” tax. And in Tucson they already have their greedy leftist paws stuck out for November, “for the [illegal alien] children” and cops.
Although we just gave them more money in sales taxes. If their latest scheme goes through, Tucson, one of the biggest dumps around will have over a 9.6% sales tax, one of the highest in the country.
But if we don’t give in, just like with Brewer’s tax, we’ll all die because the “first-responders” won’t respond, the youth will be on the streets like animals, and the city will crumble. On and on with their threats.
