Opinion Line (Aug. 25)

Ten years after Katrina, how many people still have their hands extended, palms up, and pointed at the taxpayers and charities?

Why are people so anti-government and when it comes to handouts they are first in line?

We were taxed when we made our money. So why in the world are we taxed every time we spend it? Shouldn’t paying tax once be enough?

Since Kris Kobach is making it difficult for people to register to vote, let’s adopt another rule: If you’re judged an unproven citizen and denied voter registration, you should be ineligible to pay taxes to the state.
