Re: Elected Officials have to Go To work
said by pnh102  :Are you saying that elected officials who wasted precious taxpayer money on BS should be allowed to stay? You speak like someone who doesn't pay taxes. Sorry, but I have paid taxes for too many years, and still doing it.
I can waste my money with my elected government or I can waste it with your corporation. I know you prefer the corporation taking the money, but for myself, I would rather have the local government doing it and having more of it stay local.
Corporations do have one advantage over local governments, they are not accountable to the people, and if it looks like they do not get their way, they buy a politician or two and get a law tossed on as a hidden rider at the Federal or State level to do what they want, despite what the people want or what may have been the right thing to do.

At least if I do not like the services provided by a private company I can go tell them to shove it. Since taxes are obligatory, government at all levels must be judicious about how that money is spent.

Government does everything it can to kill private enterprise every day. Why is it surprising when shareholders of private companies try to fight back? There's nothing wrong with looking out for your own interests when you have parasites in government trying to leech off your success.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.  |
