Sam Hieb blogged about the defeat of the Guilford County commissioners' attempt to ask the state to allow them to increase the sales tax by one percent.
Billy Yow's "cover your butt" comment certainly reduces the matter to the basic truth.
Elected officials of all stripes think that the public funds are theirs to "eat" without recourse. They know there's always more to be had. There always is.
Feeding at the public trough is an instinctive habit for certain animals, isn't it?
it's sickeneing to see all the waste in government spending!
ReplyDeleteSpend, spend, spend, is the mantra of all our elected officials. Schools and country clubs are the same way. Raise taxes, raise tuition, and raise dues is the name of the game.
The more you give them, the more they spend. As long as it's someone elses money they're spending, they dont mind doing it.
I love the piggie pin;-)

Something MUST be done!
