This Won't Hurt A Bit...

If you've been following the circus that was the 2008 Colorado State Legislature session, you know that the taxpaying (and "feepaying") citizens of Colorado have been under a relentless attack from the liberal tax-and-spend State Government that YOU elected.

 

More and more taxes for education, even though voters doubled the size of education spending just three years ago...and then doubled it again when Referendum C produced windfalls of tax money that no one could have predicted.  And when the liberals hiked property taxes in Denver to support the burden that illegal aliens have placed on our education system, they called it a tax "freeze".

 

Unbelievable amounts of tax money are put into the category of "roads" every year, yet we are hit again and again with more taxes for roads.  Except now they call them "fees".  Every time (EVERY FRICKIN' TIME) I drive through a construction zone, most (if not all) of the workers are busy holding up shovels.  Pay attention driving though all the cone zones this summer, tell me I'm wrong. 

 

The liberals in charge of this State have truly gone mad with power, taxing and spending their way to Utopia at the expense of Coloradans already burdened by high gas prices, insane fuel prices, unemployment, and a (GASP!) recession.

 

And now the gloves have come off.

 

Andrew Romanoff, Colorado's answer to Nancy Pelosi and a BIG fan of taking your money, is pushing very, very hard to get the spending limits imposed by the taxpayers of Colorado revoked.

 

If you thought that they were getting WAY out of control with their new and improved taxes, understand this: 

The Democrats have already been operating under spending limits imposed by the voters of Colorado. 

 Now they want those spending limits removed, so that they can tax you completely at will.   

 

After all, they know what is "best" for you.

 

Douglas Bruce (who I'll be the first to admit is not the best ambassador for anyone) is looking out for the taxpayer.  He called Romanoff's attempts to tax you into bankruptcy "unlimited state spending forever".  Nothing controversial in that remark, folks.  It's just the plain old truth.

(so was "illiterate peasant", not to change the subject, but it was the truth)

 

 

If you like paying more taxes, by all means please elect some more Dimocrats this November.  

I would rather see some accountability for the billions of dollars that are already being spent.

(not to change the subject again, but if voters don't approve the measure to give Coloradans the actual right to work this November, there won't be any workers to tax anyway.)
