If you tax people who work and you pay people who don’t work, do not be surprised if you find a lot of people choosing not to work
Actually spending some time in the wilderness might do us some good. I have a poison pill theory about the governorship next year that is similar to what I posted before the recall of Gray Davis in CA. Simply put, the composition of the legislature is majority rat and a large contingent of RINOS--19 of our ostensible R legislators voted to put C and D on the ballot. The state is now officially ungovernable--the public employee unions hold the whip hand on all public policy issues.
If we win the governorship, the Denver Post and the News will blame the governor and not the parties actually responsible in the legislature. This is what has happened in CA to Schwartznegger. OTOH, if the rats have complete control, blame will go where it belongs.
The big downsides to that strategy are: (1) My beautiful state has to spend some serious time in the toilet; and (2) The rats will continue to have a complete lock on the Colo supreme court for decades; and (3) Redistricting in 2011 will make it almost impossible for R's to win the state back, even with a majority of the vote--eg we lost the legislature in 2004 even though we outpolled the rats in both house seats and senate seats statewide and that will only get worse in 2011.
