CWUgirl,
Since you chose to respond to my post, I will point out to you that in your response you totally ignored my point about people voting to raise their taxes all the time - via levies for libraries, 911, schools, etc.
You state that it is impossible for the individual to make decisions on spending issues because our state government is too complex? I patently reject that arguement as one of giving in to Big Brother. Individuals are perfectly capable of making decisions as to where our money should be spent. I find your arguement very condensending.

Using your line of logic, since I'm a nurse, when you come in for health care you should have 100% trust in what I or your doctor tell you. Don't bother to learn anything yourself because we are the "experts". And your body is much too complicated for you to understand, right? I mean we go to higher education for years to learn about how it works. So just take this pill, relax, and we'll see you for surgery in the morning...

No thanks, I prefer to think for myself.
