Enough in taxation already

When is enough going to be enough? When are people going to get so pissed about taxes that they are going to say something about it? When are politicians going to learn that we the people are not an endless supply of cash for their pet spending projects? When will we run the well dry?

This article from the N&O says that we are nowhere near "enough" apparently.

There are at least 46 bills introduced at the General Assembly that would grant local governments new taxing authority. Six counties -- Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Pasquotank and Perquimans -- have had a 1-percent land transfer tax in place since the 1980s.
