Carla Howell is Chair of the Committee for Small Government, a group that is supporting a referendum question on the Massachusetts ballot in November. This particular question proposes to eliminate the state income tax beginning in 2010. Among the benefits that will be derived from eliminating 40% of the state revenue will be the creation of "hundreds of thousand of new Massachusetts jobs". There will be no downside as neither property taxes nor any other tax will be raised nor will any "essential government services" be cut.
A number of people have actually bought this argument as it takes quite a few signatures to place a referendum question of the state ballot. I wish I had the names of these people as I'm trying to sell a bridge.
