Taxes
By Ken Leland

I think the idea of another tinkering with the tax code is a horrible idea! I still remember the "temporary Tax increase" of several years ago that became permanent the following year! The money will just end up supporting more "goodies" for our bloated bureaucracy instead of doing any real good for the community.

With our economy on the ropes, the concept of penalizing the elderly retired folks by eliminating their tax exempt status is insane, they're having enough trouble as it is meeting their obligations.
