This is a good analysis, one of the best I've seen, from someone who is a self-confessed liberal.

They know the law is on their side in the state Constitution, which says an income tax is illegal.

We need to do the same thing in DC. The suits think that your pocket is bottomless.

Bravo, Volunteers! But you know your politicos will keep at this.

Connecticut has a sad story to tell in this regard. After two centuries without an income tax, and a very healthy state government even so, the citizens of Connecticut made the mistake of electing the odious Lowell Weicker to the governorship. Weicker, who had said several times during his campaign that no necessity existed for an income tax, proceeded to ram one through the state legislature anyway, sending waves of shock through the populace.

Weicker was followed in the governorship by a (Northeastern) Republican, John Rowland. Governor Rowland has made no attempt to rescind the income tax. He's defended it several times as something Connecticut must have.

Some changes, it seems, are not to be reversed. Beware!

Chavez is relatively honest and LOL....the Tennessean considers him their resident "conservative"....mainly because he's anti-abortion. I am happy they have given him a stronger voice.
