We need a

state income tax

and we need it now. Any damn fool with a brain knows it as does every politician who is afraid to stand on his own two hind legs and admit it.

Say what?! Abate your damn heresy and blasphemy, son!

You want to pay an income tax? Fine -- move to Californication, they've got every kind of tax we do, and just as high, plus, they have a 9.3% state tax on personal income --

AND THEY'RE STILL BROKE!!!

You don't seem to understand. We paid less total taxes in Missouri where I came from than we pay in Texas. You seem to like paying high taxes. I don't. You're the one who ought to move to California.
