Yeah, that’s right make the people who actually contribute something take the punch. Meanwhile the people who don’t contribute anything vote themselves lifetime medical benefits and over pay for street medians that are butt ugly.

Nice use of figures. Sounds like they make a lot more than the base 48,000 and some change. The median income in the US is 46,000.

Let’s take another look at the budget problem. We’ve been cutting taxes since Reagan. It was really hard to see this day coming. Or those water mains breaking in LA . . . or that freeway bridge that fell into the Mississippi in Minneapolis.

The U.S. was a great idea until personal greed got in the way.
