State Rep. Mike Smith wants to double income taxes on 5% of the state's taxpayers by allowing the other 95% to vote it into law. Beyond the fact that this would drive even more of the productive from that state, Mr Smith obviously thinks democracy is about two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
Actually, this guy seems to think way too much about dinner and would probably eat all three of them. Maybe we should vote to tax him and his corpulent brethren for eating more than their fair share of food and endangering the planet with the massive amounts of paint-peeling greenhouse gasses they expel every day.
Speaking in support of his plan to take with threat of state force, the property of 107,000 residents for the crime of being successful and productive, Smith said: "I'm not sure who would campaign against this other than those 107,000," And that's why this country was set up as a representative republic and not a direct democracy. To prevent tyranny by the majority. Mr. Smith should ask for a refund on his poly-sci degree.
Or maybe he should just quit and get a real job for once in his life. Perhaps he'll realize how hard it is to make money when you can't put a gun to people's heads.
