I was just thinking about this last night. I’ve been supporting Perry, but the thing that hit me was: Perry would raise taxes. He would negotiate the baby away in terms of tax increases. He did it here in Texas, and it actually worked out kind of well because we would up with a surplus when the rest of the country was drowning in red ink. But it was still a tax increase, and it was still offensive.
I don’t like tax increases.
But when you look in the mirror, the enemy is - us!!!
As long as the public demands extravagent services from the government, their will be a price to pay.
Years ago,it was the responsibility of familes to take care of aged and infirm parents. Today, they can’t be bothered. They want a government program to do it. It comes with a price tag.
And that is just a very small example of what I’m saying.
(DISCLAIMER: This is NOT meant to be offensive to elderly infirm people or their non-care-givers. I’m always a politically correct commentor.)
