Repeal the Property Tax NOW, Mr. Governor!
Dear Readers,
A movement in Indiana is really warming the cockles of Ol' Teddy's heart. On Friday, several hundred people participated in a rally at the Statehouse in an effort to repeal the property tax in the counties of the state. This rally was spearheaded by the wonderful group Advance America, which normally rallies each year to ban gay marriage (God bless 'em!), but this year, their focus has turned to the evils of the property tax.
Folks, as you may or may not know, the property tax is the primary revenue source for local governments, funding things like police and fire protection, road improvements, schools, and parks and recreation. The fat cats in local government like to argue that local governments are remarkably efficient, and a cut in revenue will result in a loss of services, but I'm not buying it. They just need to learn to do more with less, because that always works incredibly well!
Dear readers, these folks in Indiana have a right to be ticked off. They have the 36th-highest per capita property taxes of any state that actually uses a property tax! Furthermore, this has brought their property tax rates slightly closer to the much higher rates in all of the states surrounding Indiana! Who wouldn't be upset?
All of the west-coast, liberal elite, local government fat cats need to learn to spend more wisely. Give these people liberty from funding critical local government services, or give them death!
Mr. Miller and Advance America, thank you for loving America!

Mr. Trumblebunks, welcome back and Happy Mardi Gras!
I know you are a McCain supporter...shudder...but what do you think of all of the other candiates who are still in the race, such as Romney, Huckabee, Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Mike Gravel, among others?
