And the republicans didn't help at all when they had control of the legislature. I wonder if they've realized why they lost, or if they're just going to blame it on iraq.
I'd better buy more lottery tickets. I can't stand this state anymore.
The socialism is getting worse...but a large part of that is that people don't get out and vote.
What do you think the voting percentage will be come April 3rd? 10% Possibly 12%?
I can live with myself because I have yet to miss a vote from Dog Catcher on up; but you're right...it's frustrating as h#ll how many people just take life here for granted and are more than willing to be slowly boiled alive, like a frog in a pot of tepid water.
We won't be able to afford to live here in the future at the rate things are going. I have no doubt about our money-making skills, however, it's tough to get ahead when each year the State takes a bigger chunk of flesh from your hide.
That's why I'm fixing up my farm now, and within the next 5-10 years we'll be selling it and our business and most likely leaving the state, too, unless drastic changes are made in key government areas.
I'm not a quitter, but I'm not an idiot, either. I CAN see the forest for the trees. :)
