Keeping “Enough is Enough” in mind and reading this Bitch, it’s always funny how people want better service and fewer taxes. I think that’s where your dream was OP.
^^^Ain’t that the truth, Crispy! People want government to do more and more for them – better roads, better health care, better education – but cost less. That’s known as magical thinking.
There was a student march a few weeks ago and some of them were calling for free tuition. Don’t get me wrong – I think it’s important to keep post secondary education affordable. The problem is that the same people who want free education now will be complaining that they pay too much tax once they are working.
Personally, I’ve benefitted greatly from our education and health care systems so I’m contented to pay my share of taxes. You get what you pay for.
I’d just be happy if they used the money they already get responsibly before asking for more.
Yes, you fucking dummy! He was referring to lowering taxes… and increasing minimum wage…
“You get what you pay for.”
My God, I wish I had said that!
^^^ You just did!

FLUBBING THE RULES OF CORRECT CITATION
No, note the quotation marks. That means I’m quoting you, not saying it myself. To avoid confusion you must observe the correct rules of citation even as you pass from uttering the commonplace to pontificating on the platitudinous.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Hearing taxes? Is that like hearing one hand clapping?
