text: Wow, what a great idea. Tell you what, since we're all in this together, since my pay would be cut 10%, the legislature can pass a 10% income tax on all non-state workers too. Because I'm sure you wouldn't mind contributing 10% of your income. 
  Also, lets cut 10% of all other benefits you get from your employment, because you clearly have a non-essential job as well. Feel free to supplement your job with basket weaving you can sell by the roadside.
