    Lower business taxes to encourage employment, growth and lower prices to consumers. Lower personal income tax and property taxes to also encourage consumers to spend or so a parent can stay home with their children. I think most people are paying 50% of their earnings in taxes (income, sales, property, fees and fines) - way to much. 25% should be the top. Our state needs to re-evaluate what its role in society is. It is great that people here are so giving but individuals should decide how much, when they can afford to give, and also where a portion of their hard earned money goes.
