Letter: Bumper crop of taxes

Editor, Daily News:

Outrageous! Windfall tax increase? All tax increases must be the result of a public vote by the elected tax spenders.

Pigs at a trough will eat all the corn we throw at them. The tax windfall is the corn.

Hey, we need a referendum requiring the "rollback rate." If the tax spenders want to spend more, let them go on the record for it.

Consider the reverse. Suppose the tax base falls 25 percent. The tax spenders would have to vote for a tax-rate increase.

Let's put a rollback-rate referendum to a vote.

I am an irate taxpayer.
