Okay, I admit the Fair Tax idea sounds like a good idea. But I don't think it'll ever pass because asking politicians to think logically is a lot to ask. They always seem to do what is most illogical.



I apologize for calling everyone whiners and complainers. When I posted my comments, I was frustrated (and still am) about our state's budget situation. We are taking in very low amounts of revenues this year and are in a crunch. We are stuck between a rock and a hard place so to speak. We have citizens demanding better government services but they also want government to lower taxes. They can't have it both ways. These things cost money but no one seems to realize that.



Again, sincerest apologies. I think it sounds like a good idea to tax people fairly as long as in the end government can still afford to meet the basic needs of the people.
