Re: Taxes
Whether or not state spending has increased is a different matter. The question you FIRST POSED and now are backtracking on is whether or not states are in financial debt. You offered me ONE ISOLATED example. I then proceeded to explain how your stance is wrong. Now as for increased state spending, um YA, it will be more every year. It's called INFLATION. Prices rise and things go up in price. The same services that once cost x amount now cost Y. So 10 dollars five years ago might take 15 dollars now. It doesn't mean the states are being irresonsible, it just means they have two choices. 1) Make cut backs to afford the same service 2) raise taxes. It's called common sense. |
