THOMAS
JEFFERSON "I
place economy among the first and most important virtues,
and public debt as the greatest of dangers. To preserve
our independence, we must not let our rulers load
us with
perpetual debt. If we can prevent the Government from wasting the labors
of the people under the pretense of caring for them,
we will be happy." Click for

on how to save Long Island
The
source of repressive Long
Island taxation
lies in the restrictive legislation passed in Albany
at the behest
of special interest groups to the detriment of the
taxpayer. Shifting the source of revenue from property
taxes to income taxes does nothing to stop the spending.
According
To The Rauch Foundation click for survey. 56% of Long Islanders said it was
somewhat or very likely they could leave Long Island
in the next five years. 85% state property tax increases
are a serious problem and 67% believe Teacher-Administrator
Salary and Benefits are the reasons behind school
tax increases.
