Election: Gubernatorial candidate proposes child-care tax breaks for parents, as well as for businesses.

Gee with a choice like this, it should be easy for the voters in November.

DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship".
