Doug Bruce at it again.
Thanks to Zappatero's earlier post, I had the pleasure of reading the letter to the Gazette from Doug Bruce regarding last week's election results as well as the TABOR reform issue up for a vote in November. It is the first letter listed.
While Mr. Bruce may have the market cornered on fancy words, he's still in good company with other politicians who stretch numbers and facts to prove their point. Please check it out, and discuss.

I'll take a shot here.....
The $3.1 billion 'increase' in taxes is completely misleading. This revenue would actually be gained from not refunding taxes collected, as mandated by TABOR. And, the total $3.1 billion would be spread out over five years, not in one lump sum as Mr. Bruce would lead you to believe. That adds up to approximately $124 per person, per year. Most people I know would rather the state keep this money and use it responsibly.
And no constitutional rights are being seized. This issue will be on the ballot this November, so we all have a voice in the matter.
Doug Bruce would prefer to pay no taxes, live on a dirt road with shit running down the sides, and have rats eat his trash instead of it being handled properly. O, that describes the buildings he owns.......sorry.
