That's interesting. Several very blue states on that list leading the charge. This topic has been discussed for decades, remember it as a kid. The blue states were a very solid "no." I'm guessing budget restrictions are changing minds.

I don't know about other states but Illinois been fucking broke for a long time. Budget is an air budget as it doesn't exist, rob one thing to pay other shit and continuous slew of new taxes. Right now in Cook=Crook County...
1)Insane sales tax
2)Insane cigarette tax, like driving 20 minutes away saves $6-$7 per pack
2).05 per bottle tax, buy 24 pack of water $1.20 tax
3)Netflix tax to Chicago as they label it like cable, think like .90 month
And starting in June we get .01 per ounce tax on Pop, Sports Drinks, Lemonade, Tea etc... so basically .78 per 2 liter, I'll be buying pop along with my smokes over the county line. Be one thing if these taxes were applied correctly but just lines pockets and gets used for shit that has no relevance. Reason my ballot had an amendment which passed to stop Illinois from taking road funds for other shit. Their argument was you don't need amendments the elected officials do the job and if they don't vote them out. Well that doesn't work out well so if we need 1000 amendments on the constitution to stop these bitches from stealing money for other shit so be it, fix da potholes bitches. Considering quite a few people are subject to random drug tests to get employment I don't see a problem with random testing those that receive benefits. :2 cents: |
