The non-election year session of the North Carolina General Assembly is in full swing. As you might imagine, since it's ruled by Democrats (and ALWAYS has been), they're trying to decide how much more they can get away with spending. They're going to raise taxes again, it's only a question now if they'll raise them by 1 billion or 2 billion.

So why does North Carolina need to spend billions more every year? Because Democrats are in charge. I'm sorry, but that is what Democrats do. Where Republican can mess things up, too, I guarantee that if Republicans ever got control of North Carolina, they wouldn't increase spending.

This year they claim to "need" to give welfare to furniture companies. So much for the Democrats being for "the people" and not businesses. Do people still believe that lie today? In this case, they want at least another $7 million to make furniture more expensive. However, instead of the people who actually buy the furniture paying for it, they want everyone who works in North Carolina to pay for it. Welfare for business: it's what the Democrats do.

They also want to refuse to take $40 or more million for selling land they're not using. Instead of selling the land to someone who would pay lots of money for it now AND pay tons of taxes AND generate jobs; the socialist Democrats don't want to lose control over that land. Instead, they want to make it a park. So there's another hundred million or so out the window thanks to Democrats. But don't worry, they'll just raise your taxes to make up the difference.
