A. R. P’s Ralph Lidman confessing that he has seen the light and now favors a sales tax. The only problem is that he is looking through dirty lenses and can’t read the words. Get a copy of the proposed constitutional language and read it yourself. Read what you will be voting on. The money is not dedicated to schools. It is dedicated to “ public education’’. It was worded that way on purpose so that the legislature can define public education to include education programs that do not occur as a part of the school system. Yes, HB 2500 (which you don’t vote on) says the money is for schools, but that is a law that any future legislature can change without your vote. Mr. Lidman says, “ The ex emptions can’t be taken away.” Wrong. Read the constitutional language. It says, “ The follow ing are exempt.. .all to the extent described by law.” Who writes In the Service the law? The legislature. For in stance, any future legislature could say that food for home con sumption does not include fresh produce, or that motor vehicle fuel does not include fuel for cars and just like magic, the exemp tion is gone and the item is tax able. With the language quoted above, any time that the govern ment wants more money it can just change the law. We do not need a sales tax to fund schools. The legislature just needs to fund schools with the first appropriation from the state budget and then run government on what is left. If there is not enough money left, let’s see them sell you a sales tax to run govern ment. It couldn’t be done. The sales tax pushers are just using our concern for our children and grandchildren to convince us that a sales tax is needed. Vote no on the sales tax, it does not protect your pocketbook.
