I can live with minimal government “services” and do for the most part. I suspect that most rural people are in the same boat.

I pay taxes while living on an unpaved street that hasn’t seen a county snowplow in more than a decade. I pay taxes for police protection and a county patrol car rolls through town once a week at best. My township has probably less than 10 streetlights total but we pay $100,000 a year for them. I can do without them. I’ve ridden a public bus and a train exactly 1 time each in my life. I rode the people mover in Detroit once.

Seems to me that the life is being sucked out of flyover country to make life more convenient for urban dwellers.

Are there really still such people as you? Have you ever flown in an aircraft? Used a credit card? Operated a flush toilet? Voted Democrat?
