And what exactly is wrong with driving all levels of governmental expenses out into the open and giving people the knowledge of the costs associated with these "services"? It will force people to chose between necessary services and frivolous entitlements, my guess is that an overall reduction at all levels of government would soon follow.How is paying hidden federal taxes through our state and local government taxes "driving all levels of governmental expenses out into the open and giving people the knowledge of the costs associated with these 'services'"?
How is the sales tax, that everyone must pay and is keenly reminded of, "hidden"? How is it "hidden" when the local politicians will try to blame the Federal government for the revenue shortfalls?
