If it were me, my money and a bank, of course I would see ti that way. But in this case it is a government body, my money and they are taking more than they need. If the state comes across unexpected expenses they can always raise my taxes or even ask for donations, I don't see why they get to keep my money, returning no interest (as a bank would) and I don't get a say in the matter. It just does not seem right.

Like I said, I'm happy that Indiana is done well (I live here, but still unemployed) things seem to be looking up a bit. I would rather hang on to my money than have someone else look after it, I know I'm responsible, I can only hope that they are.

Based on 2009 numbers, we have 6,423,113 in population. So that 1.2B works out to about $187.00 per person.

Thats a good day at the grocer, or about 2.5 tanks of gas in the pickup. Nothing to sneeze at, but not a lot to get worked up over. Like I said: I’d rather they keep than hit me up for more later.

Now if that number keeps going up, then yea, they’re taking in too much money, and they can rebate it by lowering taxes even more.
