Raise taxes

Taxes are already at the highest rate in the state's history and produce more than enough money to finance government, including new infrastructure. This fiscal year alone, these inflated taxes are producing an over $5B surplus in the face of a huge spending increases in the 2005/2006 budget proposed and approved by the gang.

Spending, as always, is the problem. Both Republicans and Democrats in government are addicted to it. Right now Republicans have the biggest addiction.

There is more than enough money from the state's General Fund revenue streams to build dramatic, new infrastructure. The Wilsonegger gang simply needs to stop proposing huge increases in non infrastructure spending.
