		<description>Forget that. I’d rather have a sales tax that almost everybody pays. Verses my personal property being taxed every year till I die or the world ends. Then my descendants pay on for the rest of their lives. Better yet. You want your pet projects funded. Then YOU fund it with your money. Stop putting your hands in MY wallet. Or more accurately, voting for someone else to steal it from me so you can proclaim your hands are clean.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s nice to cut taxes, but how do we keep the services that they are used for? 
If the Governor cut the taxes all he&#039;s going to do is increase the Sales Tax to 12% so that everyone will pay for the lost in revenue.  &quot;It&#039;s very simple people&quot;.  
Leave the taxes as they are and investigate the Fraud.</description>

		<description>These comments perfectly illustrate a society where reading and education are not respected or valued. I hope you all enjoy living in the hellscape of ignorance that you are doing your best to create.</description>

		<description>Since libraries are not used anymore (according to the commenters here), I would like to suggest that since stop lights, stop signs, and speed limit signs are not followed and used by the public, government should end installing and maintaining them.</description>

		<description>And there is the…  I want what you have and worked for. Let’s punish the successful. And reward the lazy. Let’s rob Peter to pay Paul. We’ll lose Peter, but gain multigenerational Paul’s. “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,” Proverbs 6:18. (Mischief refers to unlawful interference with someone else&#039;s property, often involving damage or annoyance)</description>
