Seven, huh? If you have < 7 people to use them, you’re a glutton. Worse, you expect me to think more highly of you because of your seven bikes. Bully for you. And good luck continuing to find ways to drain others as you go though life. After a while, people start to resist.

Everybody wants their taxes cut but few can find anything that they’re personally willing to give up. Its easy to yammer on about entitlements but until we ourselves find ways of cutting taxes on our end, it doesn’t mean a thing.

I think my township should drop their contract with the county to plow snow here within the village and hire a local farmer with a big tractor. I think we should drop our contact with the sheriff’s department for patrols and call them as needed. I also think we should drop the 6 figures we pay for the dozen or so street lights within the township. We don’t have a fire department so I’m OK contracting with surrounding townships for that. Right there is a couple million dollars in cuts for my township alone.

Anybody else?

How Marxist of you. I guess you think I should redistribute my wealth of bicycles to the less fortunate.

Worse, you expect me to think more highly of you because of your seven bikes. Bully for you.

No, I'm just pointing out that I'm an avid cyclist, as well at an automobile owner, homeowner and taxpayer. I honestly don't care one whit what you think of me. The opinion of some anonymous guy on the internet effects my life not one iota. My point is that your argument about cyclists not paying the same taxes that you do doesn't hold water.

And good luck continuing to find ways to drain others as you go though life.

What am I draining? The bicycle supply? Again, you seem to have a very Marxist point of view about surpluses and private ownership.
