NC Democrats: Raise Taxes!
While the federal Democrats are working hard to punish you as much as possible for working, the Democrats in North Carolina, apparently emboldened by the national Democrats, are making plans to really raise taxes even more this year. Democrat David Hoyle is proposing massive, massive increases.
Now if you listen to his press reports, they all claim the changes will be "revenue neutral." Think about that for a minute, if you will. The primary complaint is that revenues are down and not enough is being collected. Therefore the system needs to be "reformed." But if the reforms are including ZERO increases, then there's no need for the reform, is there? One part or the other has to be a lie: 1. The NC Tax system needs to be reformed because it's out of date, and it's distribution has shifted, and it's not providing the needed revenue.2. The new, redesigned system will be "revenue-neutral" and not result in an increase to the state. Logically there's no possible way those two make sense together. Then again, logic and Democrats have never been known to exist in the same space at the same time. Here's some of their complaints: Problem: Around 1930, when the current system was put into place, few people went to college. Now, education accounts for 60% of the state budget. Democrat solution: more, higher, punitive taxes.
Freedom solution: Cut the entire 60% of the budget and let the free market educate people. It works every time it's tried. Problem: Around 1930, Medicaid didn't exist. Today, Medicaid takes up 17% of the budget and is predicted to take upwards of 53% by 2030. Democrat solution: more, higher, punitive taxes.
Freedom solution: Cut all spending on Medicaid. I'm very, very sorry if you cannot afford medical care. Know what? I can't afford it, either. But you have zero right in a free society to force other people, against their will, to pay for your poor medical decisions. Alleged Problem: Services aren't taxes. Democrat solution: more, higher, punitive taxes. Tax all services, despite the explicit prohibition against doing so in the NC Constitution.
Freedom solution: Hello? Lack of taxes is NOT a problem. Leave it alone. Alleged Problem: Sales tax revenue have fallen from 41% in 1957 to 35% in 2002. Somehow that can be blamed on the internet despite there being no internet in the 50s and 60s. Democrat solution: more, higher, punitive taxes. Tax the internet. Tax all sales, no matter who is the seller or buyer, even if it's a clear violation of the commerce clause of the United States Constitution.
Freedom Solution: Once again, the LACK of taxes is NOT a problem. Stop trying to take from those who produce and shut up. State Senator Robert Pittenger, a Republican in the gerrymandered minority; who would be majority leader if Senate districts were drawn fairly, since a majority of people who voted in NC in the last election voted for Republican Senators; says it right:
I wouldn't address any form of tax increase or broadening the tax base until we have faithfully done our job to streamline our government and operate it in a cost-effective way. That is inexcusable. The government is in my pocket the whole time. I'm saying, get out of my pocket.
Nicely said, Mr.

How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as well-liked as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive --more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue which you know absolutely nothing about! I dont need to sound mean, here. But do you really feel that you can get away with adding some pretty photos and not actually say anything?
