LEVY: Enough is more than enough

| March 6, 2015 8:00 PM

Another tax levy! I pay federal income tax, state income tax, sales tax, property tax, DMV fees, professional re-licensure fees, government mandated continuing education fees, business registration fees, Medicare fees, hotel taxes, parking fees, utility fees and surcharges to name the most obvious, plus a myriad of unknown and hidden taxes. Government entities can always generate limitless justifications for expansion and more taxpayer funded activities, couching them as good ideas, safety for progress and especially “for the children.”

I’m tapped out! We have got to tell our governmental agencies “No,” and demand they do more with less.
