Agreed Otter. Think the change of power will lower the taxes? Doubtful. I think it has been proven in the last few decades that lowering the taxes rejuvenates the economy. Unfortunately, the new power base would rather get all the control they can, so they can dole it out to those who they deem need it (or party favorites, or entitlements, or whatever. Redistribution of wealth, by any other name is the same). Is it just me, or does this money more often go to those who want it, instead of those who need it?
