We have a spending problem John. I refuse to accept any additional tax or burden on any citizen until the legislature produces a budget based on REALITY instead of what they wish reality were. We can't afford the level of "services" we could when oil was $140.  You aren't going to collect $4 billion in budget shortfall in income tax. We would need over $5000 for every man, woman and child.  Most folks with a family of four don't have an extra $20,000 laying around to fund an unsustainable state government.
