    You know I’m a guy who pays his taxes every year, for the past 44 years and have I ever complained about federal dollars going to roads and bridges in NC or the military bases at Fr. Bragg and it’s huge outlay? Or bridges to no where in Alaska? Somewhat but I understood it’s what makes America, sacrificing for the greater good. Hell CA has the 10th largest economy in the world and do I say “let’s leave”? because I don’t need to bailout LA and FLA and other hurricane and tornado torn areas? No. That’s America.

    Reminds me of some of my favorite lines from The West Wing ... "You think states should do the governing wall-to-wall. That's a perfectly valid opinion. But your state of Florida got$12.6 billion in federal money last year -- from Nebraskans, and Virginians, and New Yorkers, and Alaskans, with their Eskimo poetry. 12.6 out of a state budget of $50 billion, and I'm supposed to be using this time for a question, so here it is: Can we have it back, please?"

    is a wonderful thing.

    Until people start to manipulate what "greater good" means.

    And IMO it's the exact opposite of America. It's absolutely what schools in the Soviet Union taught, however.

    America is about the rugged individualist and his "unalienable rights" and don't tread on me.

    Weren't we just mourning a tragic suicide by an American doctor oh, about 12 hours ago?

    Funny, we didn't put "suicide" in quotes.

    Never mind that the suicide rate among doctors is the highest of any profession and twice that of the general population. If it happened in Russia, gotta be murder. :rolleyes:

    This might explain why some black helicopter types think Trump and his cohort have already been given vaccines.
