Scare Tactics Cutting Tax

Opponents, predictably, the sound of apocalyptic warning bells in reducing police, fire and education in order to force people not to vote. But how can we be sure that scare tactics used by the same people who benefit are overspending? Finally, we see these same tricks every time we ask the government to cut something. We may ask you to donate a kidney.

act responsibly with our money: If Question 3 passes, is suffering taxpayers an opportunity to force the government to report what has refused to do. In 2009, Governor Deval Patrick and the legislature to tax of 5 percent to 6.25 percent. This put a bee in the collective hat.

general government spending as off-budget, came to a surprising first $ 52,000,000,000 If Question 3 passes, the estimated reduction in revenue of 2.34 billion U.S. dollars, up 5 percent of total expenditure. The strongest opposition comes from those who pass the initiative of the strength of Beacon Hill, aid to cities and towns cut. The government will never voluntarily reduce their spending.

We can not tolerate hostage and lobbying legislators to our major organs. Proponents of big government on both sides of the aisle always threaten to cut essential services to citizens, while the average savings of special interests that fund their campaigns.

Citing unnamed sources, The Valley Patriot, a monthly newspaper in Merrimack Valley, recently described a transport company that runs a junkie Lawrence to Boston for methadone per day, costing the government $ 3,000 per month. But there is a methadone clinic in Lawrence. These reports are difficult for citizens to independently verify, but in line with what many of us have seen the government. (Full disclosure: I gave an account of the Valley Patriot.)

It is often said that such abuses are isolated incidents. But as hundreds of these examples together, and the money starts to accumulate. Vote yes on Question 3 is an opportunity for greed and mismanagement of our money to stop the tax.

Patrick, of course, is against the initiative, but has recently bowed to political pressure to join his rivals for governor - Charlie Baker and Tim Cahill - respect the will of the people. Baker Cahill and understand an objection to the question in a way, I know why: no politician, a people who want things they say cut.

Question 3, there are again hundreds of dollars per year for an average family and to stimulate a sluggish economy. By reducing the 3 percent tax, the measure will allow us to keep more of our hard earned money and stimulate the private sector, the creation of thousands of productive and sustainable employment. Many families in Massachusetts were forced to cut 10 to 30 percent of their budgets in the recession. Certainly, Beacon Hill fall 5 percent to a modest.
