We have to raise revenue or cut govt? Ok start with anything that will make them think the sky is falling. The childrens services, police protection, etc.etc.
How about cutting things like aid to any and all welfare agencies? How about cutting all unnecessary funding to all govt. agencies. How about having the govt. employees take pay cuts?

Yep--or how about cutting back on how many "holidays" they have off with pay.

Watch those property taxes as they will probably soar.

Wow, I got it. Why not just shut the government down?

Why should gov't employees take pay cuts.. just cause they do a dirty job you don't want to do.. or are a part of the system that you don't like why should they suffer for your behalf. Why don't you take a pay cut so your company and make a profit and pay more taxes?

How about having the govt. employees take pay cuts?
