Which services are you willing to give up?

Responses:

I disagree with that editorial comment. As far as services to cut? After the pay decreases and increased health care sharing. I am open to debate - Bacon Feb 24, 19:15 13
- So your equitable answer is that your salary should be stagnant while state employee's take a pay decrease. - ty97 Feb 24, 19:20 12
  - Dude read below. My property taxes have gone up $700 a year. THEY WENT UP! Government Salaries went up 5-7%! - Bacon Feb 24, 19:22 11
    - did your property increase in value? -- nm - moles Feb 24, 19:26 1
      - Well, I am now upside down vs. I used to be right side up. So...NO -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:27

      - Well, you would be frustrated too. Public Employees are like a baby seal it seems. Oh, no pain for them, they are so cute. -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:25 4

        Dude, I work in the newspaper industry. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 19:26
    - Well, I can say this. Because my house is being foreclosed this year. I can say my taxes will be going down. So there is that. - Bacon Feb 24, 19:23 2
      - precisely why the higher tax brackets should go up. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 19:25 1
        
        Well the bank gets to pay my property taxes next year. -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:26
