I have always said that if the government could figure out a way to tax the air that we breathe, they would do it. This is an article that really takes some thinking about. Have any of us ever asked our home State to show where all the money is going that they tax us out of? Where are the police for fiscal responsibility in regards to the money spent by state, federal and local governments? We have simply turned our money in and let the beauracrats spend it the way they see fit. When Georgia voted in the Lottery, they promised it was going for education. Also, our taxes on education are very high in my county. Yet, Georgia is next to last in education in the nation. Where is all the money going? Now they are figuring out a way to tax our activities on the Internet! No where else are we so lax with our money. Why you ought to sit in on some churches finance committee meetings! Don't do it, it would make you sick. Well why are the people (I am one of them) so lax with letting big brother spend their hard earned money? Read the article below to see what they are planning now. I think it would be nice if we the citizens started demanding budget hearings or at least fiscal reports to see what perks and votes our money is paying for.
Here is a quote from the article:
"It's a big issue right now because the states are in big-time fiscal distress," said Nathaniel Trelease, a Denver tax lawyer and chief executive officer of WebCredenza, an online provider of legal and professional education services. "Most states are running budget deficits, and they're looking ever more aggressively for ways to stem the erosion of their tax bases."
