Quick, tell us why this is horrible

Because 89% of the existing tax is being siphoned off to pay for everything but what it was intended for: roads and bridges. The same is true at the federal government. It's nothing but a big bait and switch. They dangle what we need in front of us, tell us to jump up and grab it, and then pull it away. No matter how many tax increases we vote for in Baton Rouge, nothing will come of it. ALL of the money will go down the rabbit hole of consulting contracts, entitlements, and government employee benefits. No roads, bridges, schools, etc will be built, and next year they will be asking for more to plug an even bigger budget hole.
