-why do you not pass some taxes on some of the rich butt holes making these taxes , they want to tax the working class to death , tax golf games and luxury boats and airplanes and luxury cars , quit trying to get every penny poor people have , we can not even afford gas to get to work on now. pass a tax for making 100000.00 a year and living in luxury , not on people scraping by trying to buy food and gas and pay their mortgages to have a place to live. Get real , get an Idea leave the working class alone. This is what the entitlement generation voted in , god help us until his lunacy is out of the white house and we can take our country back over. you can not tax the working man for everything you need , cut your spending on welfare and housing for lazy butts that will not work and Illegals

you might think about coming out of the dark ages and voting in a lottery it will pay for lots of infrastructure and things needed by schools and hospitals , instead of sucking working people dry

I have no problem at all with a lottery. My only observation on that is that the money will not be used for it's intended purposes. what ever they may be. In Illinois the lottery was supposed to be used for education only. Come to find out that for each dollar the Lottery put into education, the polititions removed a dollar from their education budget. That money was then used as they saw fit and we all know what a fine upstanding state Illinois is.

As for the "cigarette tax". It is just another way for poliititions to bring in money so they can spend it in any way they see fit.

That can be evidenced by Mr. Black's comment about showing repulicans how to beat the system in order to get the new

tax through without it appearing to be the governments votes that did it. 'IT WILL BE THE PEOPLE'S VOTE".

How is he so certain that the vote would go his way? Is it possible that it could be accomplished by spending an undetermined amount to buy enough votes to insure it??
