Find some other way

The state House of Representatives has proposed a new tax on gas, I do believe of 6.5 percent, which it wants to put before the people of Arkansas. I would like to say if something like this should come to pass, I think you should get rid of two other taxes that we have. Do as our president is doing: If you add something, take two away.

It seems all you people can come up with is to tax us, but you don’t take some away that have been on the books for a while. Time to take away or cut back on spending. There are some seniors in this state that can’t be hit all the time. As you know, we have not received a raise in Social Security for some time. About time you people find some other way than adding 6.5 percent on us people.
