The state income tax wouldn't be practical without the Federal income tax and today's Federal income tax wouldn't be practical without the computer. FWIW.
I'm just against our lords and masters in the legislature ramming taxes, fees and garnishments down our throats, considering the history of the country.
I view the legislature like we on FR view the MSM. Where's our input, baby?
I've been noticing a trend in our state lately. The state revenooers pass some fee-grabbing scheme, and you only get to start discussing the bad points AFTER they sign it into law in the dead of night.
