Phoenix Budget Hearing 2/23/10: What is taxation?
Sharlene HoltMorpheus & Vengeancia: TIME FOR AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION! What would the act be called where I take money out of your wallet? What if I had someone else take the money out of your wallet? What would that act be called if...
"After attending these hearings, and listening to people cry over the fact that the City Council would prefer to close libraries & parks rather than implement significant salary reductions across the board, Morpheus and I have concluded that these guys are just a bunch of impotent and self-serving, cold-hearted bureaucrats with little interest in helping anyone but themselves. They won't cut spending; they'll just raise taxes."
WHOA. What a revelation. LOL
This is why, rather than diddling around the edges by opposing the 2% food tax, you should get on board with http://www.prop13arizona.com which will save Phoenicians 400-800% as much as repeal of the food tax just in year 1 and more in years beyond. If you add it up statewide will save Arizonans 1000% or more than savings in defeating the food tax - in year 1 - and more beyond that.
Additionally, you'd never have to fight another bond or override again.
