There exists among our elected officials a logical fallacy that when you cut taxes for businesses there is a "Trickle Down" effect. Eliminating the State Sales Tax for businesses will place an undue extra burden on the citizens (that is living breathing humans-not corporations) of the state of Florida. Every time the state cuts taxes for businesses, I pay more in user taxes such as utility fees and surcharges. Furthermore, Public Safety, Education, and Assistance are made to 'bite the bullet' to cover the revenues lost by cutting taxes. Finally, It is a logical fallacy that cutting taxes results in job creation. It wasn't true for Reagan, Bush (all 3 of them), Crist, or Scott and it isn't true now.

Please do not tax clothes or food. This would really hurt the middle and lower classes and the state will lose money as we attract a lot of people from other states, etc. to shop here. They buy much more than clothes when they are here too.

The California office workforce is one that is an 'AT WILL' entity, which gives support, as it were, to the derogation and abuse of the office worker by those in 'Upper Management'. I, myself, have come under unfair actions more than once and have been either terminated from my job unfairly or otherwise forced out. I have also seen various and suppressive actions used by those in Upper Management against their workers due to ego concerns, and believe that unfair targeting, termination, and suppression of an individual's rights should be henceforth stopped in the office workplace altogether.

Abolish the "Disabled Veterans' Tax"

Do not replace the revenue obtained from the state income tax by higher sales taxes! This only hurts low income families and those below the poverty line. If you don't believe this ask any low income family in Tennessee about their grocery bills.

Raise it now. It's necessary for the working poor and it's goodfor the state economy.

The cost of living keeps increasing while the income of the average american can't sustain their expenses. This is insanity and everybody is so stressed that instead of taking a stand they keep getting further in debt.

Providers are losing their jobs after reaching out for assistance from Washington in regards to their contracts and pay earlier last year. The Head Start Early Head Start Program has threaten to go center base which would eliminate jobs for over 30 small business owners. My mother who is a provider has lost her job and its has been hard, however we will do everything possible to stop this injustice from happening to others. Those who have lost their jobs wrongfully we ask that they be reinstated with pay.

The recession rolls on -- but in Redding, it has been rolling on for a long time. The federal government helped out with the Recovery Act, but that is winding down. We need sustainable energy jobs up here.

The sales tax will affect all people of North Carolina in multiple ways.
