I think the position Dean is making really and perhaps not doing a very good job of it is that he is saying we are being over taxed for services that can be had for less money. For example. CA. firefighters and other public service people are retiring with 100% of there pay and benefits. This is now part of what is causing Calif woes. As well, golden handshakes of this magnitude are obsessive and causes the rest of the electorate massive resentments. There needs to be balance in everything and there isn't at this time. If any successful entrepreneur retires with the same type of wealth as the fire guys then the attitude of the GOV. is that he can afford to pay more in taxes. (His fair share) is the mantra. Its way screwed up. Dale S.

Dean Dean, don't be ABSURD. All you have to do to change anything is convince enough of your fellow citizens to vote it down. If you can't convince enough of them to vote against the general health and welfare, why should your views prevail? Or you could move to somewhere with underpaid and therefore corrupt police, uneducated children, and no public health or building codes, and live there exactly as you wish, as long as the crime syndicates let you.
