Jeff vs Don
Discernible Differences #3a: Government Spending
State Senator Don Vaughan and his colleagues in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly are not effective stewards of your tax dollars. The John Locke Foundation of Raleigh conducted a study to measure the value of services received in each state, relative to the tax burden imposed on citizens. How did North Carolina fare? Our state tied for 33rd. In short, our government is inefficient: it spends too much money, and doesn’t get much bang for your buck.
The Locke study concludes as follows: “Spending has not been based on priorities and program effectiveness, which has left taxpayers with a poor return on their investment in government as measured by the status of health, roads, crime, and education in the state.” Don Vaughan and the Democratic machine have put our state in an embarrassing position.
Jeff Hyde, Republican candidate for State Senate in District 27, will be an effective steward of your tax dollars. He owns a small business, and knows how to balance a budget. He shares your frustration with an ever-expanding government that spends beyond its means, needlessly interferes with the free market, and diminishes individual liberty and opportunity.
Democratic control of the state General Assembly has created serious consequences for you and your children. North Carolina’s tax-supported debt stands at $15.7 billion, and, since 2000, all new debt has been created without voter approval. In 2011, the cost of servicing that debt will be nearly $800 million.
Clearly, Democratic rule of the state General Assembly has not served the interests of our citizens. Thirty-third place is nothing to brag about, and North Carolinians deserve better. If you believe in the opportunity society___fiscal restraint, smaller government, lower taxes and fewer regulations___then your choice is clear on November 2nd: Vote for Jeff Hyde in NC Senate District 27.
