  Paul Gessing on Governor Bob Riley (R., Ala.) & Taxes on NRO Financial
Riley's plan is nothing if not ambitious, as it contains tax increases on nearly every sector of the economy: income taxes would increase, as would taxes on property, cigarettes, cars, labor, paper wealth (stocks, bonds, mortgages, and deeds), and corporations.
Since Riley has not pursued two of the most popular and successful education reforms available, it is no wonder he is falling back on the tax-and-spend bromide.
Riley's tax hikes, his shifting of the tax burden, and his willingness to pour money into education absent substantial reform is the sort of thing one would expect from Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy.
