NC Governor Beverly Perdue “vetoed” a budget of the NC General Assembly that stimulated relief to taxpayers of a 1% optional sales tax and a small 1.6% spending reduction on education.
Just like President Obama, NC Governor Beverly Perdue continues with an even expanded “tax and spend” agenda. Taxes are high. Unemployment is high. Families are struggling to maintain a home and food on their tables. Inflation is up causing the cost of living to increase. Graduating students from high school and college are finding it difficult to find jobs and/or specific specialties they earned.
NC is among the highest taxed state in the United States. Liberal Democrat Party leaders often compare North Carolina with Tennessee’s taxes. NC has a sales tax rate at 6% plus local options. Tennessee has a sales tax rate at 7% plus local options. What Liberal NC Democrats fail to disclose is that Tennessee has “no income taxes” that apply to salaries and wages http://www.bankrate.com/brm/itax/edit/state/profiles/state_tax_Tenn.asp.
When will President Obama, NC Governor Beverly Perdue, and other Liberal Democrats vote to provide tax relief for North Carolina’s working taxpayers? Government cannot provide all benefits, for all people, all the time, and maintain a free and open economy.
