"Well JURB, why don't you tell us what you really think?"
I've gotten thrown off of forums for that.
Another thing bugs me is so much time spent by congress in renaming bridges and highways after people. Know what, the Nobel prize is getting down to that level.
And those people didn't even pay for it.
In the US, companies are buying sports arenas and also naming them. We got one named after the Progressive insurance company. What's next, Kotex Arena ? Depends Field ? Public money was used to build those things so the government selling them is called conversion under the law and is a felony if over something like a thousand bucks or whatever.
The state of Arizona, and I found this hard to believe thinking they are true conservatives there, actually sold the state house and now pay rent on it. Texas, though I am not sure it happened but they talked about selling turnpikes to a company in Germany.
In case people forgot, toll roads do get tax money. They are supposed to become non-toll roads in a number of years after the bonds issued are paid off. That never seems to happen though.
Temporary taxes to build a stadium (like in Cleveland) were supposed to expire.
But it seems once they find that people are willing to pay to use their pike, or a hundred bucks to go to a ball game they are not going to stop charging. As long as people are willing and able to pay.
I know the economic class of people on this site is quite a bit higher than average so y'all might have a different perspective. But it is coming to you. You have more to lose the more money you have.
If you have $10,000 in the bank and the dollar drops by 50 % you have effectively lost $5,000. If you have $100,000 in the bank you have lost $50,000. If you have $1,000,000 in the bank you have lost $500,000.
