Why not go to a user pay fee.  If you need the service pay for it instead of taxing us for it when we never use it.
Curb your politician.  We have leash laws you know.

I had to use an ambulance once,, $500 just for them showing up.  I would hate to see the fee on a house or grass fire.  not to mention the fee associated with police, rescue, and so forth.  As far as deductions, there wouldn't be any, 20% right off the top, but no more.  If a foregin visitor made money here they would pay 20% tax.  By limiting the amount of income the government gets we could force them to "lose weight" similar to a fat person in Basic Training, they don't get to eat what they want, they are placed on a strict diet!  There are other ways for the county to save or make income then just relying on the taxpayer. 

Who has the county executive asked? wasn't me :)
It is high time we eased the drought suffered by the Tree of Liberty. Let us not stand and suffer the bonds of tyranny, nor ignorance, laziness, cowardice. It is better that we die in our cause then to say that we took counsel among these.

Didn't your insurance pay for your ambulance call? We only charge the insurance companies.Can't pay the bill? Forget it,we don't go after anyone.

I dont' disagree with limiting govt.  I personally think we could cut about 2/3rds of it out and get along great.    Start with the moneypits and work across the board.
Dept of ed, National institute of the ARts, NEA, IRS, EPA, and heres a biggie, cut back on how much it cost to house a prisoner.  Shoot based on the amount of money they spend per year on a prisoner, the prisoners live better than most middle class folks do.  60k for a prisoner is absolutely immoral!   simple solution is razor wire perimeter, tents, goodwill clothers 4 sizes too big for them, loaf of bread a day and water, and every 3 days a hot meal of beans and cornbread maybe some taters thrown in to the beans.  IF they want something like a chicken leg or some green beans or corn, then they can go out and work along the roads doing ditch diggin or fence repairs or something along that line.  More they work the more food they get.

Good Idea as far as barbed wire and tents.  But why not make the prisions more self sufficent,  large vegtable gardens, livestock..they eat what they grow and sell the surplus.  Or they could trade the surplus for textiles needed for prision repair, and clothing.  Just imagine a bunch of gangbangers, rapist, drug pushers, pimps, thugs, and other assorted low lifes having to discuss which kind of stitch is better to sew a zipper on with.  Maxium security sewing circles. Plus they get to learn a trade for when they get out.  Along those lines they could make clothes and foodstuffs for homeless shelters. :police:

Ohh where i grew up back in Georgia and still to this day they have chaingangs.  I am all for making them work for their keep.  Prison isn't supposed to be a country club!  Its a place where you get punished for comitting crimes.  Shoot who the heck cares if they have cable tv?  I don't have a tv much less cable.
