I pay property taxes, some of which goes to our schools - and I have no say how that money is spent -
You said you are retired. Do you attend local government meetings? Are you involved in local politics?
I associate with a group of local men who meet once a month and agree to attend three local meetings a month. We all have day jobs that at times require travel and overtime.
Simply put - I retain the right to B I itch about how someone else is spending MY money.
Period.
