They also need to get rid of "State Workers".

How is it "unfairly applied"? Explain please. Seriously." - davidk_at_unc

This may be a reference to a Rhode Island issue. Used car: when bought from a dealer, the tax rate is based on sale price. When bought through a private sale, the state doesn't use the sale price- it gets it from a national auto dealership pricing book, not Blue Book. There are discrepancies between the two. So when it comes to private sales, some purchasers are paying a tax rate that reflects a value higher than they actually paid.

There will be some type of tax reform, but majority of people won't like it. There will be an increase in taxes. I believe they'll reduce Corp. taxes. It's what Republicans do. There will be an increase in "fees" for services. This is just like a tax, but it hidden so the citizens don't realize they're paying more and the policticans don't have to admitt to raising taxes.

"Get rid of the deduction for dependents. In its place tax each dependent. People should pay more taxes when they have children. The more children you have the less tax you pay and the more welfare you receive!. This is a serious flaw with the current tax structure." -- superman

Would you please learn a different song? This one's getting REALLY OLD!!!

I like the proposal. You can cut your own hair or yard and save yourself the proposed sales taxes, so you can control that a bit. Then if personal and corp tax rates are lowered, it's easy to attract business here because we have so much else going for us here, plus, everybody gets a share of the reduction.storchheim.

And we can repair our own transmissions, plumbing and electrical problems. Maybe build our own roads and buy our own crude oil and refine it. The main problem is that all of these "spread the tax to services" plans want to tax the hairdresser, mechanic and tradesman, not the attorney, CPA or financial adviser. I guess that's because there are not too many hairdressers, mechanics and tradesmen in the General Assembly, but a lot of attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, etc. And guess who stands to save the most taxes out of these so called "improvements"? It ain't going to be the guy making $35,000 per year.

You can also leave the Triangle, go to Mebane on I-85 and see a 10-15 cent a gallon difference. That has never made any sense either. paultaylorsr10

Different counties have different taxes.

Also need to reduce gas tax so our gas prices are always lower than all the surrounding states - they laugh at us, fill up before they come to NC and when they get across the border. If our gas was significantly less expensive they would wait to get here to fill up and we would have a lot more taxes. Also, can we now get rid of the tolls in NC??? Tax Man

How do you propose we pay for roads then? NC has more miles of road than surrounding states, over 50,000 miles more than VA or SC...which is why the gas tax is higher, since that's where that $ goes.

"And then can ya’ll work on that financial hemorrhaging that was caused and perpetuated by 142 years of Democrat rule?"

Yes because how dare the dems create places like RTP and grow the unc system from agricultural colleges to powerhouse research insitutions. Let's just defun them all so that way the few counties in this state that carry the rest of the state can be as backwards and ignorant as Surry, Franklin, and Caswell counties - I do not see big biotech and technology firms setting up shop down in Johnston. You can thank those horrible dems for making this state so attractive to businesses. Otherwise with ignorant republican rule, we would still be runningmills down by te eno river and picking cotton out in alamance country.

stop spending stop taking care of people

Verify a tax payers 20 (twenty) dependents. That might help. okayiquit

budget cut eliminated that job. We've all made sacrfices in this economy citizen. We cant bust every deadbeat, just the dumb ones, but they we have to take care of them while they are in jail and all the free stuff they get while they are in there. If you really look at it, we're all in a revolving door of some sort.
