Politicians are taxing us to death

I would like to know why Gov. Pat Quinn thinks the only way to get a balanced budget and get out of the red is to raise taxes and fees on everything the average citizen uses.

Our state government wants to raise license fees, registration fees and tax this and that. Now they want to raise fishing and hunting fees. Don't they ever think about cutting spending, the way ordinary people have to in order to stay out of the red?

Our politicians are why we are being taxed to death. They put us in the red. Why should we pay for their stupidity? They are taking care of themselves, not the citizens who voted them in. When will they ever wake up?

I wouldn't give you 20 cents for all of them.
