Tony Phyrillas: Who would oppose taxpayer rights?
What person in their right mind would oppose TABOR, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights?
How about people who benefit from keeping taxes high? Namely, unionized teachers and government workers.
The more taxes working people pay to government, the higher salaries and benefits can be paid to teachers and government workers.
On Wednesday, Oct. 10, the Coalition for Common Sense Priorities (that sounds so much nicer than "government moochers") is holding a free seminar at a union hall in Harrisburg to educate interested parties (teachers' unions and government workers) how to prevent TABOR from coming to Pennsylvania.
TABOR is a set of constitutional provisions Colorado voters adopted in 1992 to limit revenue growth for state and local governments in Colorado and to require that any tax increase in any state or local government (counties, cities, towns, school districts and special districts) must be approved by the voters of the affected government, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures Web site.
A friend from Nebraska said that every union, government group and other Democrats lied through their teeth to defeat this. Parents with small children and older people were warned in TV ads, in newspapers, by firemen, by police unions, by emergency squads and by politicians that they would be left out in the cold and probably die if SOS or TABOR was passed.
Lower taxes, cut government and throw the bums out. That's my TABOR as in a sabre we all should use on Harrisburg.
