Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1027292, member: 405"] We can't begin to think about lowering taxes until we do some basic things to fix our cost of public employees - their retirement should be based on their actual salary, not overtime. They shouldn't be able to collect their retirement until they begin collecting social security. We have to consolidate small towns, villages and school districts and eliminate thousands of jobs. We've got to stop giving out tax breaks to every single business project that gets talked about. We need to stop subsidizing successful industries. There is so much wrong with our system that the only way to fix it may be to blow it all up and have a new Constitutional Convention. [/QUOTE]
