Every town meeting is cops, firemen, teachers voting to give themselves raises, new public palaces complete with elevators, gyms, sub zero kitchens. And the elderly that want lavish service now, with debt passed on to future generations after they are dead. And town officials that like to play government and play soft rape of the taxpayer.
Also a growing financial industry that doesn’t like to pull in retail customers and would rather get millions from town officials who collect it like old tyme mob collectors with threats of seizing property. Throw in in a dufus journalism run media that couldn’t do 2 plus 2 but writesn loving pages about the new, lousy built union worker ‘community center’ and well....there you go.
