PHOENIX — Governor Jan Brewer has built a political career in standing up to the federal government over everything from immigration to health care.
So the Arizona governor surprised almost everyone when she announced last week that she not only plans to push for an expansion of the state’s Medicaid program under the federal health care law — she plans to fund it by raising taxes.

This consumate iconoclast and twisted sister of the Arizona far right, along with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, seem determined to realize a crazed version of southwestern secession and aparthied.
I think the governor should also raise the state tax, omit deductions and raise other fees, see how the taxpayer reacts. I would never live in that state, way too close to a very dangerous border.
