Dayton says we need to pay higher taxes to meet public needs.
How about we get really specific here about needs, Mark baby.
I might remind you of the 40% Federal deficit, which means of every Federal dollar coming into MN, at least 40% is borrowed bucks.
What that means is you and yours are in the hole before you even start your budget negotiations, and that is why revenue is not the solution you leftists think it is. There is already way too much “revenue” floating around. Revenue that is borrowed bucks, is in reality NOT revenue at all is it? It is on the other side of the ledger.
Until we get a handle on expenditures, Government does not
deserve a dime increase in so called revenue. So now maybe
you will understand the “people’s” antagonism to tax increases.
...but I doubt you will ever understand!
Public “needs” like Vikings stadium,Gopher stadium,Saints stadium, etc...
