That's what gets me about these lame posts. If you don't agree, don't pay, simple as that. No one is forcing anyone to do anything and no one is under any delusions about the budget. Each person freely chooses what they think things are worth and donates accordingly. Myself, I look at FR as a replacement for newspaper subscriptions. Jim doesn't demand anything from anybody.
Yet there is always one drama queen in every crowd who has to say 'loooook at meeeeeeeeeee, I'm quitting because I'm special.....'
Probably the same type of person who holds up the line at a grocery store demanding price checks on every item and then pays with pennies and expired coupons.
Exactly, it my only source for national and political news.
