Maybe it's time this spend don't tax something for nothing state realizes more people should mean more tax income like other civilized states. Unfortunately we have politicians and voters that refuse to grasp the concept that life isn't free. Companies in the rest of the country pay taxes. Tourism states especially rely on sales taxes because they are never going to get policing money back from the tourists any other way and property taxes are an unfair burden on land owners alone. Chopping down all the trees to kill our tourism and worse increase the already accelerated global warming impacts is a poor way to try to rebalance our economy. We have to get past the past and stabilize us for the future.
