Cities that have acted responsibly in the past should not be penalized (taxed) for those who didn't. Big government doesn't work and NEVER will.

So do you agree, or disagree, that a governor should have the sole right to eliminate a town, shut down a school district, fire workers, etc? And remember that there are laws governing the formation and incorporation of "towns", "villages", "cities", etc.
You just said, "big government doesn't work" - what is bigger than a dictatorship? What is more authoritarian than one "elected" official taking over a state? What is bigger than a governor being able to literally take over a town, fire elected officials, fire hired officials, and interfer in the way a town is run? Like Walker just did in Wisconsin?
What would you think if this law read like this:
"According to the law, Obama will be able to declare “financial emergency” in towns or school districts and appoint someone to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, and eliminate services. Under the law whole cities or school districts could be eliminated without any public participation or oversight."
I cannot believe that citizens are not literally taking up arms against this!
