Hmmmm....

Let us make this a 'group' hug, shall we?

For every 1% of a Statewide sales tax, the following takes place.

The oil industry is also taxed an additional 1% based upon their gross sales of oil.

The State expenditures are curtailed 5%.

The Legislature expenses, inclusive of their current, and future amounts, inclusive of per Diem, are curtailed 10%

All tax loopholes are closed for every entity, be they public or private, and let the dice roll as they may.

Or.

For every 1% of Statewide income tax, the following takes place.

The oil industry is also taxed an additional 1% based upon their gross income.

The State expenditures are curtailed 10%.

The Legislature expenses, inclusive of their current, and future amounts, inclusive of per Diem, are curtailed 25%

All tax loopholes are closed for every entity, be they public or private, and let the dice roll as they may.

I can live with 'necessary' costs to provide 'necessary' services.

I cannot accept wasteful spending.
