The 'Death of this country" is the politicians unwillingness to cut spending. Get your greedy hands off my wallet Mark!

Typical Liberal response. You could take all of the income from the "Rich" and it would run government for only several months. Then where would you get "Revenue"?? It's the uncontrolled spending!!!

of course it will be the death of the country coming from an entitled millionaire who never had to work a day iin his life. This guy believes we only have a collection problem not a spending problem. As a top 2%earner in MN..I PAY MY FAIR SHARE!! start collecting from the deadbaeats who pay nothing

How about you go to Zero Based Budgeting? Take the spending increases off of autopilot. Make everyone justify there budget everytime...

YES!!!!!!!

Dayton is right!!!

Isn't it interesting that the "Other" paper across the river wrote today about the newest KSTP poll just out where over 62% percent of all Minnesotans favor the Voter ID amendment and only 31% are against it? Nary a word in this paper. What if it isn't a result of this paper's poll we don't get to read it here? BTW, Marriage Ammendment 50% for 43% against. The Governor is going to be screaming the SKY IS FALLING even louder.

"Dayton says he plans to unveil a tax overhaul in December, but won't give more detail before the election because it will "just get mired in politics." How come Dayton can get away with that - you just know his DFL bobos will be supporting him on this site - and Romney's doing the same thing is the devil incarnate? Honestly, I wish liberals like Gov. Trust Fund Baby and his acolytes would just move to California...

I think Marky is very lucky that his family was successful. He seems to lack the imagination for problem solving that is needed. He knows one tune and it's raise taxes on the only group willing to work.

Actually, the unwillingness to axe bloated government departments and massive public pension and entitlement programs has already wrecked what the country was originally intended to be by the founding fathers. A few more dollars from the few of us who actually do produce revenue can't possibly balance the books at this point. Dayton wouldn't put it towards the balance anyway; he'd just invent more ways to blow through it.
