" In addition, many of the state taxes are very regressive. For example, what percentage of their income do the poor vs. the rich pay on sin taxes of tobacco and alcohol."

Add state lotteries to your list. The high taxes on alcohol and tobacco are suppossed to save folks from their bad habits while the lottery is there to addict them to a new bad habit, gambling. What a joke. mike

When did and where (exactly what post #) did I demonize government workers?
