Well, then, I wonder who stands to benefit from this tax? Could it be increased safety salaries when all government workers are being asked to forgo raises? This scenario sound familiar? I think that some safety employees are starting to beleive their own press too much. Sacrifice is a shared experience guys! Ok, so the tax is endorsed by what unions? Police and fire fighters?
