I hear you. Believe me, I work in the tax field for a living. I never want to give Pols another tax stream because they will always raise it as you so aptly show.
BUT... none of those taxes are backed by Constitutional Amendment to be permanently capped. If you tell me they will easily vote to AMEND the Constitution to increase a tax, well then I’d agree with you.
And I also don’t disagree with your self-care statement but there are people that truly CANNOT take care of themselves. They are not all welfare drains. Yes, I sound like a Dem. But I do think our humanity compels us to help them. Some people need more than a casserole or barn raising.
“Constitutional Amendment to be permanently capped”
Sorry, to Democrats, the Constitution is nothing but a rag on which to wipe your feet.
In my opinion (and many others), the Constitution is a legal framework for governance. Not everything should be an Amendment to the constitution, and certainly we shouldn’t have amendments to grant goodies to the people.
No sale.
