Decrease taxes? That’s a good way to give democrat politicians a heart attack.

We need more tax revenue not less. The state budget is not balanced by over 4 billion dollars because we are not making actuarial payments to the pension funds. We are running a deficit every year by basically borrowing this money from the pensions.

It’s time for the politicians and voters to be honest. We need to cut spending and increase taxes to make up for this shortfall. Pay more now or pay a lot more later.
