We need more taxes PDF Print
To the editor:

The best news that I have heard in a long time was when the legislature overrode Pawlenty’s veto. I admire the Republicans who sided with the Democrats. We need more money for roads and bridge repair. We  can’t afford to have more bridges fall in the river and kill people. We also need more money for many more miles of light rail, more money for schools, universities and nursing homes. The people who vote against taxes only think of themselves - they don’t think of the common good. They should be ashamed of themselves. Yes, I am going to vote for Rep. Kalin, as will everyone who has the welfare of the people of Minnesota at heart.

I couldn't agree with you more. let's all quit being such selfish jerks and just give our entire paychecks and all our property to the government.

They are so wise and caring, there is no doubt in my mind that they would allocate it properly (way better than you or I ever could) and then everyone would be happy and more importantly everyone would be equal. After all isn't that what life is all about?

I think you speak eloquently for and represent well the idea's and point of view of Representative Kalin and also Senator Olseen. I understand completely why you intend to vote for them, and I do agree that everyone who has "welfare" at heart will vote for them as well.

Carl,

Wow, that is the craziest thing I have read in a long time. No one can waste money faster than government. Our representatives are running government like there is a unlimited amount of cash available. Feel free to send the IRS or MDES a check anytime.

I agree, give it all up for the government, they're big brother after all.

I already give 45% of my income to them, what's another 55%, Cripe I don't need it, or my house, or food.

I say this is probably one of the dumbest things I've read for about a week now.
