response to olympicsherpa:  I personally cannot comprehend why
these wasteful people keep getting re-elected. It's nearly too
late to get this country or state back to fiscal responsibility.
People need to carefully vote this election season. PLEASE!
Amen to that. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that vote
the party their parents and grandparents voted without even
reading stats of the folks running for office. "I always vote
this way because my parents voted this way" is all too often the
message I hear. And about raising taxes: It seems the first
thing that happens when taxes are raised, is pay raises around
the board. That's why I dislike tax increases, because they
always seem to fund something unrelated (pay raise, general fund
to be handed out to whomever cries the loudest, expense
accounts, etc.). Aarrrgh!
