#  The government is crying in its cups about a lack of money

 

The government is crying in its cups about a lack of money. However, according to the Heritage Foundation, Taxmageddon means Wyoming taxpayers would face an $836.5 million tax increase. This includes: $288 million in Bush-era tax rates: $216 million because of expiring payroll tax cuts: and $332.5 million in new Obamacare taxes. Imagine if the government decides to also hike the sales tax, the gas tax, and hey, why not an income tax? The government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
