Were it my place to decide, taxes would only be applicable to the year(s) specified. No tax should live an immortal life. The tax and the law is for the living, not the dead. The attitude that its okay to let the tax man have his way with you since after a few times you should be accustomed to it is as reasonable as claiming that women who were raped were asking for it. No one asks to be raped and no one should get accustomed to bending over and staying that way for taxes of any kind. Taxation is a necessary evil at best and the only correct attitude about it is to look for the day in which this or that tax can be ended...or is bloodletting still a viable cure for cancer?

Once enacted, future legislators will automatically renew the tax because they will not want to spend the time reviewing the issue already resolved by a previous legislature. The whole renewal process will be considered nuissance legislation. For example, it the legislature passes the sales tax legislation for Charlottesville and Albemarle County, I doubt if this tax will be re-considered with any scutiny four years from now. It would be reasoned that, if we have put up with it for four years, we can put up with it another four.
