The nanner-nanner-nanner tone in her voice when she said "...good for you..." told me all I need to know about Elizabeth Warren. God help us, she is teaching rising generations to think this way.
The following is a list of fees that must be paid for in a Nevada county I am currently doing work in: Permit Fee, Bldg Plan Review Fee, Zoning Plan Review Fee, Major Project Fee, Park Fee, Transportation Fee, Water Fee, PFNA Fee, MSHCP Fee, Mitigation Report Fee and a Traffic Mitigation Fee.
These are just the fees. They represent massive levels of expense to mitigate impacts a business might have on the public.
It actually brings out the correct issue: are we getting our money's worth.
The issue is not that our taxes are too high. The issue is whether government should be spending as much as it does. If not, then stop the spending and taxes can be lowered.
The problem for this position is that you cannot get 50% plus one people to agree to end many programs.
Personally, I like many of the programs out there and think we should have the taxpayers fund them.
And, yes, I blame Bush for the problem. He kept the programs (and even added an expensive prescription drug program and started two wars), but he did not provide the mechanism to fund them.
Democrats may be tax and spend. Republicans are spend and borrow. I prefer the former, but would rather prefer a party opposing the Democrats actually have fiscally sound policy positions.

Ya, business just never pays their fair share.
