Summary
"Most Utahns would forgo tax cuts in order to improve education," says the Sunday Morning News. Like Pavlov's dog, Utahns have been conditioned to think that taxing income from labor is the best tax. Few consider that the income tax has built over the years a political overload of unproductive bureaucracies. Because of this, education in Utah and elsewhere have suffered substantially. Throwing money at education rather than getting involved in our local schools is only a syndrome of "let the government do it. I do not want the responsibility."
We have lost the classical means of taxing one's possessions because with it goes the local responsibility of watching over our communities. If more of our dollars went directly to our local schools and other social needs, we would raise our hands in an uproar if the money were not spent correctly. When the state does more spending for us, we complain to the governor when things do not work. His hands are tied because the state bureaucratic machines have taken over. This sort of vision is killing individual responsibility.See the full content of this document
