can somebody please explain that one to me???
They really don’t have a clue. It is exactly because of the philosophical differences. They think that all the little things they do - tax this, regulate that, license the other, etc etc - don’t have a magnitude effect to cause any one person/entity to suffer to the point of breaking. They are wrong. The frogs in the pot are boiling and the smarter ones jumped out long ago. There are just far too many nit-picky little things that end up costing a fortune and driving people crazy. And there is nothing left to do because the system is now dependent on all the little things such that no new industry will start here; retirees will leave and certainly not shop here; large businesses will move. The state is stuck on stupid. The best thing that can happen is that the people will vote down the tax extension and force the state to make the hard decisions. Then maybe they will find a little libertarianism and decide to back off the over taxing over regulating over licensing method of governance.
