First, let me say, that generally I use 3Reef as an "escape" from the real world conumdrums of "politics", "religion" , etc...and would really be sad to see the forum get involved in those kinds of issues --- even in the "Bucket" unless somehow "Reef Keeping" related. *Plenty of other forums out there in the big wide web to post your particular biased viewpoint on any of those issues.
To easy to stir up a "hornet's nest" of controversy over issues many could care less about...Esp, unlike, our main topic, each of us is an "expert" in our own particular warped view...& know that "ours" is the correct one, and any opposing one is just plain "wrong" - *
As your posted topic hits close to home...just would like to say I know I can spend the 25% reduction in my property tax's much more to my liking then the State...ummm, could do some pretty fancy "upgrades" on my tank with it...
Want a "fair" tax.?..then look at income taxes, .... or my personal favorite, $3-5 tax per/gallon of gas...
The State educational system is as bloated with unneeded bureaucracy as any...and could use a healthy forced "redirection" resulting in a vastly lowered budget...
OK...my 2 cents worth...
(see the problem with bringing up "politics", "religion" , etc...?? - I am always going to be right...you wrong...

)
And that being said....this being "The Bucket"...please post away on anything that strikes your fancy...
End of discussion....
