[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 1975127, member: 745"] 758 Yes. The higher the cap, the faster taxes will - er, [i]DO[/i] rise. 759 Yes. A level playing field is the way to go. Otherwise, no one tries harder and both quality and cost effectiveness suffer. 762 No. The Governor's involvement keeps checks and balances in place at all levels of criminal pardons, and the Governor is the only accountable(elected) official in the process. 764 No. We must keep the legislature involved in the bond process and as a result, keep the final vote of the people involved in approving all bond issues. If this passes, there will be a flood of other agencies wanting to commit the people of Oklahoma to paying off bonds for their respective pet projects. Accountable people(elected officials) need to be kept in the loop - as well as the direct involvement of we the people. 765 Yes. This will not eliminate the DHS, only remove the current board(unelected officials) and replace it with something the legislature will create - again, keeping accountable elected officials in the loop. 766 Yes. People own "intangible" assets to create or earn taxable tangible assets. Why should an individual pay a tax for an asset not yet worked or sold, or for a license used to make a living(think barber, hair dresser, beautician, plumber, truck driver, doctor, dentist, etc., etc.)? Should a person pay a tax for a license he or she is not using? Should an oil company pay a tax for oil or gas still underground that can't truly be calculated? Your opinions may vary. Woody [/QUOTE]
