[The Straight Story]

Problem is the more we give the more people want as they get more and more comfortable with bigger budgets.

Schools and other govt entities can do more with less but choose not to - and of course they lie most the time about where taxes from X will go (like cigarette taxes being used for things never intended).

Goverment wants a regular pay raise, which outstrips ours often. We can do better with less taxation if we got rid of the pork and people in power really focused on how best to use that money for us and the people getting it spent it as intelligently as they could.

I am not a big tax and spender but I do obviously believe we need to tax and spend, just not at the insane levels things are getting to.
