Don't we need higher taxes nowadays?

Raising the tax rate is unpopular with voters and most polititions are big wimps when it comes to calling for more taxes.

So I will do it. Let's face reality, everything is crumbling under foot due to lack of funding. The public schools are way underfunded. The emergency centers are struggling to stay afloat. The police departments claim they need more manpower and better equipment. Habor security is not getting much money moved in their direction. And many social services are being cut back money wise. The only way take care of business where funding is lacking (other then eliminating the military expendatures) is with more (higher) taxes, that is the only way they can pay for what is needed.

Are we going to allow our American public offices to become shanty towns? Or will we take pride in our country and chip in with some extra bucks at tax time.

We cannot depend upon the greedy fat cats to share their wealth so it is up to us the common folks to foot the bill. We should organize and demand more taxes so that we can once more have a great America.

Whatcha' Think?
