No layoffs, no cut salaries or benefits, and retirements well beyond those who pay them. We do, and it is. They're big-they involve millions, even billions of dollars. The establishment, those who know what is ultimately best for the masses, raise seemingly endless funds to get their incomplete, fictional and distorted story out. Lawn signs sprout from infertile turf while colorful leaflets and slick mailers reach mailboxes and doorsteps.
Money is power.
As government gets more money, power and control, the people, with less money and power are more controlled. As big government proponents persuade voters to give up more money, government gains what people lose. Citizens can be gullible, na ve and ignorant, and be intimidated if they vote NO on one tax-raising issue, if not all of them, as they should. Not only is it okay, it is performing a patriotic act to vote against more big, bad, bombastic boondoggles. Beware those who don't.
