Why the H E double hockey sticks am I working? Why?
To support the criminals, of course.
If it works in DC, it will become a model for crime ridden cities throughout the US. Officials in Newark, Camden, Chicago, St Louis , LA are watching closely. /s
Well, you silly goose, somebody has to pony up the tax money to pay for all these cockamamie liberal schemes. If you weren’t working, then other working schmucks like me would have to pay more.
Don't you get the entire point of this program? If you stop paying them off, it is open season on you.
Though isn't this exactly what the RICO laws were intended to combat? Paying protection money to prevent being the victim of a crime?
Funny, I was chatting to my cousin last evening who was traveling late to be in Dallas today. He was bemoaning the pace he does for his job. I told him just think of himself as an economic engine pulling the idle cars cars behind him and since he makes pretty good money, he gets to pull more cars than I do. He laughed so much he almost hit a pole then the truth of my analogy hit home and he asked the same thing, why the hell am I working this hard!
It really PO’s me when I think of all the tax money my wife and I shovel into the system and see the results: more bums laying about, poor schools, roads falling apart etc.
I find myself asking the same question with increasing frequency these days. The correlation between the constant sacrifice I make in my spending and quality of life and the carefree excesses enjoyed by others who do not work for it is draggin’ me down.
