Meck Deck helps me out, pooh-poohing the notion put forth by the Winston-Salem Journal —— and now state Sen. Dan Clodfelter —- that North Carolina’s tax system is “broken”:
Notice what is going on here. The drive to “reform” the North Carolina tax system is being turned into a drive to simply hike taxes. Part and parcel of that move can be seen in state Sen. Dan Clodfelter’s (D-Meck.) erroneous claim that the current state tax system is “broken.”
How can a system be broken that for most of the past decade threw off billions more each year in revenue? As ever, revenue was not the problem, spending by Clodfelter and his General Assembly cohorts was out-of-control.
Always good to know it’s not just me.
