No, we don't need a state income tax.  We need to legislature to obey
the state constitution which says that state spending may not grow faster
than the rate of growth of the state's economy.  We need the legislature
to IMMEDIATELY stop adding new social programs whose sole purpose is
buying votes.

If you give politicians more money, they will spend it.  The only solution
is to STOP GIVING THEM MONEY.
