[QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney:837341"]Already offered my thoughts on Question 1 in another thread [QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney:836561"]I'm voting no on 1 because most people and business owners are fucking morons (just look at the credit crunch that destroyed our economy, I DON'T HAVE MONEY BUT I WANT TO PRETEND I'M RICH) who would just waste the money they're not paying on taxes on some short-sighted investment. Virtually none of it would go back into the community, unless the state and local government increased property, excise and sales taxes. Do I hate paying taxes, especially when it seems like they're not being put to work? (truck-sized potholes on Route 99 in Everett) Of course. But I'm not naive enough to have the faith in my fellow citizens to not turn into greedy hood rich morons when they get the slightest sniff of cash. Libertarianism works great when society is broken down into extremely small homologous communities and neighbors trust one another. In most urban and suburban environments (ethnic enclaves are a unique exception) where most people never know their neighbors and are so cowed by action news that everyone outside their home is a threat, empathy withers and dies. I think what I'm getting at in a roundabout way is that we need to exterminate the transient yuppie populations and foster more ethnic enclaves. But yeah, barring the complete reorganization of society on a much smaller scale, taxes are a necessary evil.[/QUOTE] But yeah, I've heard most of the arguments for because one of my friends played Bioshock, read Atlas Shrugged, got a job working for his daddy that wasn't under the table (and ended up having to pay taxes for the first time ever) and suddenly went from hardcore democrat to Question 1 zombie. I don't think he understands that 80% of his dad's business, and thus his paycheck, are state contracted jobs.[/QUOTE]
