State Level Tax Receipts Up

Willisms - State government coffers are filling up once again. Tax revenues are once again up thus far in 2006. Indeed, despite some of the campaign rhetoric from Democrats about how Bush's tax cuts have burdened state and local governments, revenues have been up consistently since the major 2003 federal tax relief package.


Damn Bush and those deficit-creating tax cuts!

/sarcasm

Seriously though, this is my favorite part:

...not all regions are created equal. Some states are growing more, some are not.

The Great Lakes states and New England, mostly blue states with relatively high state tax burdens, saw the slowest revenue growth, while parts of the country with a more low-tax libertarian streak experienced the fastest revenue growth.

Rob...Another Bush tax cut I enjoy hearing about is how the Katrina victims were affected. The levees were supposedly not fixed because of the Bush tax cuts??? Ya right! The tax cuts had not even gone into action! Plus for over more than half a century, billions of dollars in federal funds have been forked out to fix the problems with the design… Can the design on the levees be fixed or is it something that has to be entirely redone? Was the State of Louisiana responsible or was it the Corps of engineers for the City or what? It is really sad to see Mardi Gras this year in New Orleans. BUT, How can they blame Bush for their problems? ...
