Oh reEEEEEEAAlllly now? veeeEEEEEERRRRyyyyy interesting. Anyone care to post details on that little tidbit?
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!
Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
