Read the following argument made by a concerned citizen at a town meeting:
are we supposed to stand idly by while our town
government wastes millions of dollars? while we pay
higher and higher taxes, our leaders are stuffing the money
into a bag that's riddled with holes! we cannot continue to
support this senseless waste. we cannot accept tax
increases as inevitable. and we cannot allow our elected
officials to retain their positions without fixing this broken

o
d. the idea that tax increases can be avoided is not grounded in
reality and common sense.
