What a dubious horse-race this is:

Gubernatorial hopefuls duel on tax refunds

Marc Holtzman on Tuesday announced his plan for "the largest tax break in Colorado history," proposing to cap Referendum C revenues at $3.1 billion and refund the surplus.

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez announced he was the first to sign a petition for a "fiscally prudent" constitutional amendment that would cap those revenues at $3.7 billion and send the rest back to taxpayers in the name of heating-bill refunds.


Holtzman offers loot for special interest TABOR-refund beneficiaries (vast majority of Coloradans get nothing). Beauprez offers more corporate subsidies for Xcel's price-gouging -- the other side of "helping" the poor pay their inflated heat bills.

There are your winners. The rest of us? Take your thumb and forefinger and plant it on your forehead in the classic 'L' shape.

Taxes Are...............

.......a community investment. Call it philanthropy from the masses. Think of all the good that comes from these investments, education, first responders, etc., etc. People that want to shrink government and drown it in a bath tub are soulless and selfish misers. A quote on the Nebraska state capital building admonishes us to make sure that government does it's job and does it well:

"Watchfulness of the citizens is the salvation of the state"
