    there are hundreds of new taxes they could impose upon the citizens. Why stop at a new income tax? Raise the sales tax. Raise property taxes. Raise the fees for auto and boat registrations. Raise state park entrance fees. Raise, or institute new tolls on all roads and freeways.

    Maybe they should simply confiscate everything and give all residents an allowance based on what the government feels they need?

    No , the obvious move here is to institute a state income tax earmarked for disaster relief

    why? No income tax entices retirees to move there which increases revenues through sales tax, property taxes and other fees.

    Creating a new income tax can have the opposite effect.

    I suspect that many who propose creating a new income tax are doing so not because they think it will increase revenues. They are proposing it becasue they believe it's a way to simply take more money from those who they believe have more than they need.

    I know liberals. I know how they think. I know what they believe. I was once a very liberal person. Until I grew up.

    Correct ... also, the storm formed closer to land masses and was not able to generate energy.
