Where will we find the money?

Tim Eyman and his initiatives have me greatly concerned. Where does he think the money comes from to run the government and keep our country running smoothly? We, the citizens of this country, are the only place money can come from. “The government” does not have any money other than ours. Before I-695 I had to pay $400 to license my car (which was somewhat hard to come by), and this year I paid around $50 for my license – great. All of us can use the break, but who will replace the difference between the $400 and $50? Where will we find the money to repair and build necessary things if Eyman keeps offering initiatives to cut taxes?

No one bothers to ask us if we can afford to pay more for our utilities and groceries, but they keep raising our bills. We live in a senior mobile park, and most of us in here are wondering what we will do when we can no longer afford the prices here. Even so, we know we must have tax money to run the government. Where do Eyman and his cronies think “government” will find the money if not from us?
