My point Mr Hodges and make no mistake I am sure you got it, is that this fantasy invented by AFP and Grover Norquist and their like is just that a fantasy. Cutting taxes and making government smaller does not and has never stimulated the economy, ever. Our Government is following Kansas and Wisconsin into an already failed experiment.  Look around the world and even in our nation the places with taxes actually do better.  California has the one of the largest economies in the world, Minnesota is doing well, the Nordic Nations ditto. Cutting taxes cuts jobs and services and this hurts the economy it simply does. Like it or not government spending and workers ARE part of the economy, in this state a large part. We would all like to see less waste but I want my schools funded and so on.
