They'll do all these thing to scare the public in acquiescing to higher taxes.
Personally they could do all of those damn things and I wouldn't shed a tear.
I truly only WANT a very small amount of things from Government:
1. Protect and DEFEND my Constitutional Rights.
2. Fire, Police & EMT service.
3. Road Repair in the summer, snowplowing in the winter.
4. Pick up the Trash.
I can handle everything else, thanks!
Jerks.
