VISION

Truth in Taxation
This is not a 1% sales tax increase!
Depending upon which City in Tulsa County you
make purchases in, this is a 10.5% or 12.5% tax hike! Don't let them get away with
the 1 penny stuff and 1% claim.

Response to "A river runs through it"
In response to the Tulsa World article on
Sunday, August 24thm by Julie DelCour with the rather original title of "A river runs
through it"
Dear Mrs. Delcour,
If developing the river is really a good economic idea then why are not profit seeking
venture capitalists already exploiting it? If Vision 2025 Proposition 4 is about
lofty social ideals then why are not the good people of Tulsa freely donating their time
and their money to have improvements made rather than waiting to be forced by taxation?
Giving blood for example is noble so people do it with out waiting on government
forcing them to.
The very fact that venture capitalists are not
investing in the river is because it is not worth doing.
Should these propositions pass then on what
moral grounds do the Vision 2025 advocates justify forcibly taking money from people in
order to build things they may not want and may not use? I have a lot of bad
business ideas that no one will invest in so how do I get on the ballot to force other
people pay for it?
Vision 2025 has not been a Republican vs
Democrat issue but it does demonstrate that only the Libertarian Party does not believe in
the initiation of force (compulsory taxation) to achieve social and political goals.
Everyone wants to make Tulsa better. The best way to improve Tulsa and
protect liberty is to remove government strangle holds on free enterprise, forget about
bureaucratic master planning and just let the invisible hand of economics and American
self-determinism do its thing.
