Don't we have enough taxes? I don't even think people read the issues on the ballet. All they see is New and Better Stuff! and check yes. I am so tired of paying for crap I don't need, don't use, don't want, don't support, and what other people have who shouldn't.

I don't believe the ones that voted for more taxes are the ones that are paying the taxes.

I can't believe it. We aren't taxed enough already? How many fools that voted for this believe the money is all going for road improvements; and not into the pockets of pols and their cronies in the "highway business"? Change the laws so that AR based trucking businesses tag their tractors and trailers in AR, and not in OK; that would be a start towards money to fix the roads they tear up.

I wonder just how many people voted against President Obama because they didn't want higher taxes and turned around and voted to raise their own taxes. Really Arkansas?
