The cartoon pretty much nails it. Today's Republican orthodoxy insists on completely ignoring the income/revenue side of the equation, preferring to pass the buck on down the line until it reaches the local level, where there's no one left to pass the buck to. Except us, we the people. So if we want to preserve some of our programs and services, don't be surprised to see a bunch of local tax issues on the ballot very soon. This is the essence of the "trickle-down" philosophy. Just don't forget who started this downhill pissing contest.
