Raise the sales tax a mere .025%. No hissing here!

And next year, raise it a measly .015%. Again, no hissing here!

Yep that's a good one. Get as much as you can get out of the people with the least amount of complaining. Course it would all depend what is taxed too. A little bit here, a little bit here..hey who will notice??

Taxes are just another vehicle to further liberty's cause... No man can live w/o price.
