3 March 2005 Dear Connie Mack: Somebody has to take the responsibility to pay for civil order and the cost or maintaing our society (police, etc.) Current huge deficits are not good for our country, long term or short term. You have GOT to consider some raising some taxes, preferably on those members of society who can afford it, like me. I am a MODERATE REPUBLICAN (of the Schwartzeneger/Whitman branch of the party) who votes, and I support your efforts to raise some taxes.
