http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=313439 The Utah Tax Payers Association just put out this finding about Utah as the 4th highest Taxed state in the Nation! I'm sure that our friendly Cache County has it's own little part to play in this abomination. After all, Cache County likes to force everyone with "Mandatory Recycling" as well as violate your private property rights in many ways like for example subsidising the spraying of mosquitoes which not only poisons mosquitoes, but the people as well. Utah and Cache County citizens over use WIC, housing assistance, public recreation, public health care, public education, public transportation, food stamps, public broadcasting and much more. Our Taxes go to all of this pork garbage. Of course the State of Utah and Cache County want you to use these services or it would put many of their associates and associates to the associate to the associate administrator>>> out of public (pork) run business! Instead of helping to strengthen private business and citizens by reducing the Tax burden which would set many free, people have no choice but to use the help of government run services. It is a very bad cycle! I know that the founding fathers would be sickened over it all! Taxes are way too high in Utah. Excluding the Federal government's cut, Utah alone is in at over 15% in Taxes and fees! Our Federal Government actually cut Taxes not too long ago, that's at least something good they have over the State of Utah and Cache County. Our friendly Cache County just recently increased the private property Tax, yet again! Sadly, this helps make Null the Federal Tax cut! Property Tax was designed to discourage private property ownership! Carl Marx, the big boy when it comes to Communism felt the same way about private property! Soon, Taxes will be so high that no one will be able to afford to privately own anything which is the whole basis behind America and a free people! For a (red) conservative state, we are not living the true conservative (red) values very well at all. We are 4th from the very worst! How does it feel to rank up there with left coast California, and Massachusetts? Remember, the Boston Tea Party was over a 2% Tax!

There are several problems that me must account for. First of all Utah has large families and most of those kids go through public education. Somebody has to pay for this. Another interesting problem we have is Utah has a lot of state universities. I think that the LDS church was smart to give them to the state as they do take a lot of state funds to run and maintain. These things said I do agree that we have way too many people living shifting the burden of their physical needs to the government. But I do believe that Utah has a very low rate compared to other states. What are the percentage break downs of the budget?

I would like to see less public schools and more private schools in Utah. Also, I support people who decide to have many kids. It is their decision! I don't plan to have as large of a family, that is my decision. I'm no better or worse of a LDS member than the next for my decision. I also think that Parents should plan to fully pay for their large family so Taxes don't have to make up for it.
