NC Senate Demands Higher Taxes
Despite the open and vehement opposition of the voters of North Carolina. The Democrats in the NC Senate recently passed a tax increase — but they passed it so that they could claim at election time that they didn’t raise taxes. Instead of openly raising taxes (because that might cost them votes), Democrats in the Legislature voted to permit counties to increase the tax on moving (aka “land transfer tax”) massively — but only with the permission of the voters. EVERY single county that’s tried that has failed — miserably. The average loss for increasing the moving tax is 70-30!
But Democrats in the North Carolina Legislature don’t get it. They don’t care. It appears they will absolutely refuse to remove that taxing option — they believe that if the counties keep trying, they will be able to slip the tax increase through on an off-voting day, a special election day, or a second primary day when people won’t be looking.
The message is very clear from the Democrats who rule the North Carolina Legislature: We don’t give a DAMN what people want, we’re going to do whatever WE want to do, in spite of you morons who don’t want to give us your money.

They’re expecting another cold, dark moment in the middle of a still and sleepless night when they can get enough morons in one spot in a cramped back alley (or in the case of Jim black, any bathroom will do) to pass this thing, just like the “passage” of the “education” lottery.. … yea, we ALL got an “education” on THAT one!!!!
…. and yes, we have NOT forgotten how the Democrats orignally came to power in North Carolina…. at the point of a gun, in the Wilmington Race riot of 1898, in the ONLY SUCCESFUL COUP D’ETAT TO EVER TAKE PLACE IN AMERICA! They literally shot the duly elected Republicans then holding office, and took over the state legislature. The News and Observer published an apology for its part in the takeover (albeit 100 years late), but the Democratsccontinue to rule in the same fashion, by forcing their will upon the “represented”.
And just think — in those riots, it was the Democrats who shot black Republicans to take power. But still blacks keep voting Democrat. I guess it’s still protection votes.
