At a near level of depression in the economy is not a time to raise taxes. And to raise them for pork projects is insane, roads will wait, welfare will wait, and education can streamline itself. As long as governemnt and the legislators are determined to keep its standards of government beyond its supportable means we will never see an economic recovery. Every time we lose businesses and jobs are we going to be faced with a tax increase so government can keep spending? This is insane legislation and its regressive to any hopes of an economic recovery. A welfare government is not a means to help the economy and certainly not a means of creating or making jobs. When will government realize that taxing at some point will not be so fruitful? There won't be anybody to tax so what will they do then?
