Yes, I understand the "if we don't get our share of the government dole, somebody else will" mentality. It is probably even pragmatic. However, this is why we never get real change. People, even conservative people don't want to get rid of those creating the situation that requires their money to be confiscated through high taxes. It is alway's somebody else's bastard at fault. Never our own.

It is almost a MAD situation, except we aren't fighting with nukes, but each other's wallet share.

"GOVERNMENT DOLE?" Who pays for the friggin' dole? Aargghh!!! This is THEIR money. Which they are losing to other states because the have ineffectual representation in congress.That's my point. It's THEIR hard-earned money which they have a right to reap the benefits of except they've got a head-in-the-clouds-rep who pretty much guarantees that their bucks go up to New Jersey instead of their own hard-up community.
