So, now that the Democrats have beaten back the liberals (aka Republicans) around the country, including North Carolina, what do you think one of their first actions will be? In Charlotte, they're getting ready to implement a couple brand-new taxes like a tax on you selling your property (even if you lose money on it). And the state? Oh, they're getting ready for another BILLION dollar tax raise.

And as usual, they will do it with their favorite tactic, the shell game. The state will take one cent of the current sales tax that the counties collect. Then they will allow the counties to raise their taxes. Then everyone can point at everyone else and claim no one raised taxes!

The state will claim THEY didn't raise taxes -- they never voted for a tax increase. At the same time, the counties will claim they were "forced" by the state to raise taxes, so it wasn't them, either. But somehow the state will have an extra BILLION or so dollars to waste as they please. If you don't think they're wasting it, feel free to check out my category here called "North Carolina Government." I'd say they're wasting about 90% of what they spend.
