What is sticking it to the middle class and everyone else is 30 years accumulation of governmental dead weight that is sitting on the economy like an elephant. I blame both the democrats AND the republicans for this.

Everyone is to blame – the politicians and the people who elect them regardless of party. If the masses wanted lower taxes they should hold their elected representatives accountable to achieving that goal, but these days everyone is looking for a handout so it literally becomes impossible.

Wow, does Pat Garofalo really believe what he’s saying? The GOP is all about moving taxes from income to property as a way to put more of the tax burden on the middle class.
Hot debate. What do you think?

You’re kidding, right? Wasn’t it Tommyboy who just recently drafted a bill requiring the county to sell some property for about 10% of assessed value to the city of Virginia? And he claims he looking out for the little guy? By forcing a gov’t body to ignore a standing offer and sell it for less? Except for his proclivity to commit self inflicted faux pas, he’s a waste of mn taxpayers’ dollars. He’s a joke from the same mold as sen. Boob Joke of WI.
