I am more than skeptical of governments changing tax systems--i.e. moving from a state income tax to another form of taxation. It's always a shell game: "How can we fool the voters today?" Tell me, has any of these types of changes (anywhere) resulted in LESS TAX DOLLARS being removed from the pockets of taxpayers? That is what the taxpayer expects. But it never happens. It's all a ruse put on by politicians to gain a big bunch of credit for doing NOTHING!

At the June 1 meeting of Fox Valley Initiative, Steve Goreham—executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America, policy advisor to The Heartland Institute, and author of four books on climate change—gave a fact-filled, common-sense presentation discussing climate change alarmism. He presented data showing much of climate change, if not all, is a natural phenomenon.
