I don't post much here, but you have got to be kidding!!!!! Do you post stuff like this on purpose just to get a reaction? Or are you really soooo obtuse you don't know the answer?!?!?!?! I mean, gov't waste is at an all time high, the economy is in the toilet, unemployment is almost the highest it's been in history, Obama wants to spend us into oblivion, China owns lots and lots of America, welfare just keeps getting more and more bloated, the rest of the world points and laughs at us... For god sakes man, engage your brain before letting your fingers do the walking!!!!!! Besides you answered your own question in the 1st sentence of your question.... sheesh!!!!!!!!!T0land said:I've just cut a half dozen checks to the state and fed for my quarterly taxes.

The company I run has been able to pick-up a number of Federal, State and city contracts that have help replaced the lose of our normal "retail" clients with the current downturn.
So I see the pain and the hit that taxes can be on the budget. (Healthcare is a huge hit, too...) but I also had to hire a few kids right out of sandbox to help with projects that we have going on ("recovery" related).
Granted, I know these kids are planning on heading "home" (the mainland) at some point once they feel settled, but I can use the extra hands and they are always willing to put in full days efforts, unlike some of the local guys. This all thanks to our taxes dollars. I also know that these government contracts are only short lived projects for me.
So I ask, honestly, why do folks on this board hate the idea of higher taxes. I just want to know...
