So let me get this straight, you think lowering taxes is an example of big government? No wonder you are an anti-American leftist, you don't even understand what big government is.

I believe he means the issue is a state government controlling what local governments can tax. If I have issues with what my city is taxing there are plenty of ways for me to express my opinion in a democratic way. I don't think the state needs to be involved.

I believe that some cities and towns with ineffective or corrupt management/personnel need some guidance. I would certainly entertain the opinions and possible obstacles inherent for small municipalities as to why they couldn't oblige, and make concessions where necessary, but most problems are the result of a lack of motivation not resources.

Personal Liberty, don't tread on me, etc. unless it comes to taxes than we know what's best for you and your municipality.
