I couldn't help but chuckle at the headline of the paper about balancing growth and taxes. It struck as a kind of can't see the forest for the trees irony.
What is the point of growth then if all it does is increase the tax burden..... What then is this panacea of growth all about. Where is the advantage. True there is probably a ratio and balancing component to it that I think the people are unawares of. Why? Because what is the "magic" ratio or number ? Do you know?
I don't know. Does any one know?
There is Growth, then there is Smart Growth and then there is.... walla " sustainable growth.
Think about it before jumping on the growth bandwagon and consider too the growth life cycles and contingency and rainy day funds as well and supplying good clean healthy water to all this growth
But sorry I digress.
