I agree with Robbie and I don't trust the government.

All of the politicians suck, regardless of party. They all spend money. Everyone for the most part is acting in a self-interested way. They need to get elected, they can't do that without raising money and owing political favors all around town.

I think it's incredibly distateful to want to spend $220M on an arena and then try and cut education by $300M. Just shows that hes a piece of shit. And I can cite numerous examples of Republicans raising taxes or spending $ they don't have.

Democrats are just as bad. They'll cite the need for more 'revenue' for good-hearted reason XYZ. I love how they call it 'revenue' when for the tax payer its a 'cost.' Imagine that, them saying they are going to raise people's costs, doesn't sound so good does it, and it shows you it's an us vs them mentality (politicans vs the public).

So long as the money increases from the people to them, we are empowering these idiots on both sides of the aisle. Regardless of what they get, the money will always be spent, and the results will almost always be marginal to shit, because there is no accountability. Money on it's own doesn't solve problems, and once the money is acquired, there's nothing preventing it from being spent in poor, inefficient ways and that is exactly what happens. You're not going to give a 16 year old a Ferrari and expect him to be a good driver. Think about the analogy.

I've resigned myself to this and the only thing that's left is what smart people are doing, and that's to legally minimize your tax burden as much as you can, something politician's don't seem willing to acknowledge is a reality in their proposals. You can argue about what is ideologically right or wrong, but for a lot of people, this money is real, and they vote with their feet and actions.

The politicians are the criminals, not the tax payers. I can tell you I am tired of every year politicians getting more and more in my pocket for reason X, reason Y, reason Z. We need this, we need that, we need more of this, we need more of that. We should run elections after tax day and see who gets elected.
