Greetings Visionaires -

The question I have relentlessly sought answer to from Isaac Young . . .

---------------------------------------------------------

 On June 19, 2010 Isaac Young stated on his Facebook page:

“We save money at the state level by limiting the size of state
government. The money we save by doing this will allow us to eliminate the
state income tax. Then every one is taxed fairly (sales tax) by their
life...style and how much they consume. By reducing the regulations on all
business and streamlining the permit process, you are able to get citizens
to work more quickly.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the state of Idaho realized $1.3
billion in state income tax revenue in 2009.

Question: Specifically, what state positions would Mr. Young eliminate
and/or which specific state programs would Mr. Young eliminate/reduce to
compensate for this loss of state income tax revenue?

---------------------------------------------------------

As Isaac Young failed to appear at KRFP for a scheduled call-in debate
with Rep. Shirley Ringo, this question could not be asked and answered.

I posted this question here on Vision 2020 . . . again no response.

I, just this morning (and hoping for a response to the people of Idaho's
6th congressional district), posted the question to Mr. Young's Facebook
page, where the constituents of District 6 can monitor his response
