As of 8/1/03 our elected officials have added sales tax to pretty much everything that wasn't taxed before.<br />For example...haircuts, laundry and dry cleaning services, personal care service,deliveries,towing,tatoos,taxi cabs storage facilities and also snow removal are just a few things that now will be taxed. <br />How much longer will people take this before someone says enough is enough. Really doesn't matter what side of the fence you voted on, this is a crock.<br />Just wondering if other states are being hit like this to take care of all these porkers who we elect....

Re: New Ohio Sales Tax

Maybe you can be the spark that starts something similar to what we have in Colorado, TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of rights).<br /><br />It was started by a local slum lord and is amended to the state constitution.<br /><br />Tax increases must be voter approved and budget surplus must be returned to the people (the latter not really being an issue anymore).<br /><br />The bureaucrats complain that they are always getting short changed, but we still alway seem to end up with clean schools, plenty of well-trained cops and nice streets.<br /><br />It's been tougher in the last couple of years , with some services being cut, but hey, we are all cutting back a little these days.<br /><br />Good luck.

We have an actual, for real recall happening here.<br />It'll happen within 75 days.<br />There were more then double the votes needed to hold a special election.<br /><br />It's important to note that my county and the counties and districts that nieghbor mine are the only ones in the entire State that send Republicans to the State Assembly or to Washington. This area and a few other AG counties were red (Bush)during the last election.<br /><br />However, it seems that decades of democratic control is finally taking its toll. <br />We're sure to have a new govenor in a few months.

Mr Spencer, "They tried that Crap in MA - tax service - and we nearly rioted.... "<br /><br />What do you mean nearly rioted? How did all that tea end up in the harbor? I'd call that a riot.<br /><br />Oh, you meant more recently. <br />And in the words of RoseAnne RosAnnadana, Nevermind.

Re: New Ohio Sales Tax

Gonfishn,<br /><br />I was born here and lived here for 40+ years except when I was in the Navy. I have always loved this state until now. <br /><br />Just about all license has gone up. But I haven't heard about state employees having to take a wage cut or benefit cut. I'm glad Bush helped with cutting federal taxes, but it only offsets our increase in tax in Ohio.<br /><br />There are lots of families that are moving out of Ohio, and this is going to be one in about 4 years from now. They better concentrate on how to keep people here instead of chasing them out of the state.<br /><br />The man (Taft) needs to be held accountable. He has completely done things against what his platform promised. Schools was his biggest issue, but however that was the first thing he cut funds to.<br /><br />Recall? Duh! He needs to be impeached! We can't afford the money for a recall.. Does anyone out there want to buy 88 Bi-Centinial Bells? There is one for each county.<br /><br />Haircut tax? Guess I will have to become a hippie and quit cutting my hair.<br /><br />Another thing that urks me royally. Some roads get repaved that doesn't need it while others have very poor conditions.<br /><br />Taft is giving blackeyes to the Buckeyes....He has to pause between every sentence to think about what he is saying or trying to figure out new ways to talk with his arms and hands. At first glance at him, you would think he had Downs syndrome.<br /><br />Things here seem to be going down the toilet, but hey, Taft will probably put a tax on flushes next.<br /><br />Just venting a bit, but if someone has a petition to get him out, I will gladly give my signature.........SS

Taxes? and your thinking of retiring here. From one of the highest taxed states in the nation to one who wants this honor, you my friend may have it.
