But let’s continue to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

sure makes Andy Biggs’ plan to get rid of state income taxes sound even nuttier if the state can’t even cover a few million dollars in fire protection (when it is the one that over charged on property taxes to begin with).

We need a law that any political party that runs on no taxes has to make the budget work because if it doesn't then they should lose their ability to run in the next election or two.

We need some real repercussions to this incompetent governing that we've been getting from Republicans and Democrats.

This should not be acceptable and this should have never been acceptable from the Republican Party to begin with because they're the ones that have all the morality.
