Let's call for a Tax Cut Freeze on the Free Lunch Freeloading Republicans!

Vos is simply pushing the failed Taxpayer Bill of Rights; use one-time surpluses to permanently ratchet down taxes by the same amount, while NEVER increasing taxes. It’s not hard seeing where that takes us. Ask Colorado about it.

Democrats want to eliminate some or all of TABOR’s spending restrictions to enable public spending to keep up with Colorado’s rapid growth. Colorado currently ranks between 40th and 45th nationwide for per-pupil K–12 spending and 48th for higher ed spending. Republicans counter that TABOR provides an effective restraint on Democratic overreach.

Maybe Democrats could call for a tax cut freeze until we study what the real costs are in the future? It’s called budgeting?

As I have said before, the greed that infects many baby boomers, with their tax cuts and trickle down scheme, is setting Gen-X and Millennial’s up for a fall. See the chart below. This is the jaw-dropping picture that already seems beyond our control:

Using Federal Reserve data to compare how generations fared financially at different points of their life cycles … What people own: their assets minus their debts; it gives families a safety net during hard economic times and is intertwined with such milestones of adult life as buying a home, starting a business or retiring comfortably.

As the chart above shows, baby boomers — those born between 1946 and 1964 — collectively owned 21 percent of the nation’s wealth by the time their generation hit a median age of 35 in 1990.
