I don't understand

Why adult human beings would look to government to provide for them, instead of working to provide for themselves. They don't seem to realize just how much the Government takes away from them. This is by design though, it is why people are not taxed directly but instead have their wages garnished by stealth at the employer level before the worker ever sees what is being taken from them. Do away with the employer middle man as tax collector and instead, give the worker his whole earned due, and make him responsible for paying his own tax debt and the fondue would hit the fan then.

Americans of this time have grown fat and lazy and rather than take responsibility for their actions and their lack of prudent planning. No too many of them would rather empower a Nanny government to take care of them and to give up their rights to do so.

This is the kind of asshat politician that needs

drummed out of office, it is NOT their town hall for us, it is OUR town hall for him, we allow him to serve us, and he had better run his district the way his constituents tell him to. These butt heads have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

My town hall?

These are the people who are supposed to....

Run Government Health Care, 2/3 of the US auto industry and the Banking system....

--More than 10,000 census employees were paid more than $300 apiece to attend training for the massive address-canvassing effort, but they quit or were let go before they could perform any work. Cost: $3 million.

--Another 5,000 employees collected $300 for the same training but worked a single day or less. Cost $1.5 million.

--Twenty-three temporary census employees were paid for car mileage at 55 cents a mile, even though the number of miles they reported driving per hour exceeded the number of hours they actually worked.

--Another 581 employees who spent the majority of their time driving instead of conducting field work also received full mileage reimbursements, which investigators called questionable.

Well, we got pummeled, two and a half feet in the open, drifted to four and five feet around the house and fences. Not really a lot compared to some places but for Silver Spring Maryland, its huge!

Fortunately for me, we are always well stocked with provisions and can quietly rest at home for the next few days till we get dug out. So far none of the side streets or our street have even been looked at for clearing, so even if I was silly enough to try and shovel this off the drive, there would be no where to drive to.
