re: Does JBE win re-election?

No that is not true tax collectons at the state level that grow with the Economy is not the same thing as wanting to raise marginal tax rates . When the economy grows and wages and earnings go up more income gets taxed in the higher marginal tax rate, if consumer spending goes up, sales tax collectons go up. I am for stability in revenues and spending , so surpluses could be the result of higher tax revenue do to rising consumer spending and higher salaries . for the record I am not for higher marginal tax rates at federal level . I am for tax system that allows for stable revenues and that is not overly reliant on oil taxes , which by 2007 to 2013 we once again were. I already have told u I was in support of the stelly tax code structure which was pushed by Governor Foster who I was a big supporter of. Nobody accused him of being a big government guy. our budget and fiscal policy were working fine under stelly and Foster .
