It's only the "takers" that do so.<br /><br />No, we've all, including the wealthy, got our faces squarely planted in the public trough.<br /><br />But only some of us are honest about it.

Please don't hesitate to join the free spirits enjoying the fruits of their own making. <br /><br />When you go, please leave behind all the taxpayer funded roads, fire department, police, military, and public infrastructure. Also, when you buy gas at the pump please be sure to repay your portion of the subsidies the U.S. Government provides for oil production. And while you're at it, when you buy your groceries you can pick up the tab for the agricultural subsidies the rest of us pay for. <br /><br />Good luck out there!Good riddancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-26252595288601835162015-01-23T09:50:08.635-05:002015-01-23T09:50:08.635-05:00How about saying yes to leaving the money in the h...How about saying yes to leaving the money in the hands of those that earned it. If the kids need a wading pool or water park, their loving parents can take them to a nice business that has one or put in one themselves. At $20k a year per student, doesn't the high school have a water park and roller coaster? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-56672967654085158592015-01-22T18:13:47.011-05:002015-01-22T18:13:47.011-05:00Functional.

Then have it built. Oh, but you are correct, committee, sub-committee, working group, study, confab, etc.. etc..
