    Thes are merely the first items that our "leaders" can think of. The easy ones. After they pass these taxes, there will MORE items needing more taxes. That's what they think their job is, I believe--- spend us into bankruptcy and then in the next seesion, find more thing to tax to make the missing dollars. JUST QUIT SPENDING! That's all most WORKING people want them to do. But then again, when do politicians ever listen to want the poeple want??

    No one's really surprised at this, are they? The more money they can get from those of us who actually pay taxes, the more they can give away to those who don't in order to "buy" their votes so they can stay in power to take more from those who do to give to those who don't. That is if they can get them up off their butts long enough to get on the buses they provide to take them to the polls to vote for them so they can take more of our money to give to them, ad infinitum. And so it goes.
