18774694322187746943. To do about it for a -- free number. -- point.

Our show issues as as many of years most you know who live in Massachusetts from -- also outside of Massachusetts. We have the we have a system here were citizens cannot petition. For a referendum question to be placed on the state ballot and they can change law they can change the constitution even -- more complicated. But. We've instituted things over the years like proposition 21 half which is capped property -- as -- property taxes ought to be a lot higher if we if we hadn't approve that thirty years ago and a referendum. Question. However in recent years the the legislature. Being overwhelmingly democratic and most of them run unopposed. Has become an increasingly. Inclined. To disregard the will of the people. When it comes to world. Referendum questions they don't they they had they world. Not even. They they will immediately take action to were repealed the law that's passed in the referendum questions and some. In one case anyway -- so called gay marriage. We were even allowed to vote because they knew the people would vote it down as they have and every other state so they didn't even allow us to vote on it. The legislature and then governor elect Deval Patrick. And that's one reason why -- Anderson from citizens for limited taxation that's the open that's the the original tax crucially an anti tax group they're the ones who got prop two and a half past back thirty years ago. They don't even get involved in these referendum questions anymore. Because -- it's -- you know it's so much damn war can you raise money in the in the legislation just turned around and refuses to implement it. This was a trend that was started under a that co opt. Criminal politician by the name a felon Finneran who should still be imprisoned. Now and we repealed the income tax. Increase was supposed to be temporary from six point 25% went down a five point 95%. But it was spoke gonna back down 5% but. Felon Finneran. And who is a convicted felon by the way -- he pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. He was involved in a racist gerrymandering suit to deprive black voters have their -- rights.

Under. Under the US constitution. He. He stopped it from going down to five point 5% so now. Now while. Carla Howell and her group she's a yeah former libertarian candidate for office. She is got a ballot question on number questioned three. And it would repeal. The income these should be as you know the state sales tax was increased last year by Governor Deval Patrick and his. Minions. In the general court. By 25%. Went from 5%. To six point 25%. That's a 25% increase. In a time where the bleeding economists are worried about deflation about the decline in prices declining. Yet the hack program my his -- out of control in this state. Given themselves raises and phony disability pensions and junkets. Everything in cars and blackberries and what have you. That though they had to raise the sales tax 25%. So Carla Howell and her group went out there aren't a they they got the signatures spent a lot of go because it's it's very tough to get signatures. Without paid people on the street and they they put it on the ballot to cut that the sales tax down to 3%. To sort teacher molested not to 5% but the 3%.

So why today Deval Patrick he's on the day one of the one of the local radio shows with to its hosted by a couple of moon bats. Who worship him that panic they kind of treat him the way Chris Matthews streets Barack Obama. So but they they did come around today they figured that the figure was at I given credit for in spite of hormone that tendencies. To what they -- only asked them you know well will it will he implement the that did the cut in the sales tax. From a six point 25% to 3%. And now of course you know the pinky ring -- unions public sector unions are going to spend millions and millions of dollars. To try to defeat this. You're gonna see yeah it. UC pictures of little kids bringing toilet paper to their own schools and we all ladies and wheels -- being pushed down the stairs. Like in that movie kiss and kiss of death. You know it's it's the usual scare tactics will all be dust and often used for the millionth time. But. So anyway they ask him they ask him well you know we're still ahead in the polls right now. Yeah be the people want the taxes to come down I mean you've lied to them once before. You'll lied to them about -- cutting the taxes on on their on their. On their houses you promised a property tax cut and you never delivered in every been tried to deliver. Or you could do was think to raise the sales tax. You tried to raise the polls yet tried to raise the gas tax. So how how we know you're gonna go along with this tax increase in -- sure at this tax cut -- K Shura -- that god forbid. Well guess what he set. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.

Won't come yet to implementing a proposal to reduce the state sales tax from six point 25%. To 3% even if voters approve it through ballot question this fall. Now remember when when you don't win that when it's when a renegade court order of a bare majority on a renegade court. Approve something called gay marriage we have to go along with -- That's the -- and but you know now you're gonna have two million people are gonna vote. To cut the sales tax. And -- say. What do we care scroll you know you're only voters. You're only taxpayers this is exactly like prop eight in California. You know they they had these these people have as much respect for the voters is that that gay judge in California dead. For the people who voted to repeal gay marriage in California. While -- do -- regional leader again so your blood pressure and go up a little more. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick won't commit to implementing a proposal to reduce the state sales tax. From six point 25% to 3% even if voters approve it through ballot question this fall. The Democrats said Wednesday that making such a cut would have a calamitous effect on public services rarely you know what I can take it. I'm willing to accept a calamity. Idea. Bring on that calamity. I can take I'm ready Furl. I'm ready for the calamity of cut the sales tax in half. Reducing the tax would. Cost I love that it would. Hole cost. The state an estimated 2.4 billion dollars in annual revenue. How about how about the wording it this way Bloomberg business week there's always the Associated Press. Bloomberg picked it up how about this reducing the tax would return an estimated 2.4 billion dollars. To the hard working taxpayers. Who are tired of -- paying for the giant hacker or am I here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Patrick said he would like to lower taxes himself stop me if you've heard this one before. But the public. Also wants state and local services supported by the sales tax. I condone -- bottom. -- I wanna cut I want this service is I want some of the act expired I want Germany's court thousand shot down. I want patrol most foreign now.

He repeatedly dodged it directly answer when asked if he would implement the change of their -- past. I think we work real hard to show the try to show them how could land medicine choice that would be he said twice. 187746944694322. 187746. That we Africa. So -- are there are already announcing that they they have the voters have even passed it in the are already announcing at that they're not going to war abide by the will of the people. This is why. You have to turn these people out of office. You have -- again I know there's not even enough Republicans running to take over the legislature but you have to start somewhere you have to start getting rid of these people. You have to start skid you have to start knock out incumbents. It you have to put more on record of urea off all the Republican candidates were running have to put the of their opponents on in the legislature. On a record. As to how you would vote on whether or not to repeal. BR cut the sales tax what you it's amazing isn't it you'd you're. If you're in the private sector you're make -- less money than you did last year and probably you make less money in 2009 that you made it 2008.
