Howie Carr had a great story on last night's show. Mass. has Prop 2 1/2, our version of Prop 13, and communities may vote to over-ride it (and thus increase each property owner's
taxes). Well, he mentioned one woman who enthusiastically supported an
override--it's "for the children", you see--and was shocked
to see her taxes go WAY up as a result. DUH! Now she thinks she can't afford to live in her town any more. Sure,
they'd love to increase the taxes on other people but when it hits THEM in the pocketbook or wallet..."A conservative is a liberal who got mugged"
