“We’re the only state in the nation,” wails Wade Buchanan of the liberal Bell Policy Center, “where you can only raise revenues, taxes, by a vote of the people.”

Your the only state in the UNION that has had the good sense to limit the power of politician to extort money from the people to be used by politicians to buy the votes of those trying to get their hands in the government cookie jar.

The state does not have the right to take any more money from the citizens than is necessary to fulfill the legitimate needs of the state.

Those needs do not extend to providing college education subsidies to non-citizens, providing financial incentives to private corporations to relocate to the state, providing welfare payments to non-citizens and a whole plethora of other illegitimate things that politician think are worthy redistributions of wealth.

We’re down to that IRS joke -

The communists....err...rats...really do think it’s all theirs. After all, we didn’t build that.
