[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 902340, member: 2189"] You are so right about the folks in Washington serving themselves and not us. That's another reason I support a massive de-centralization of Washington power and shifting it all back local. If we really took the time to dig into the actually true costs of sending money up to Washington to only let them pass it around as a bunch of rent seekers stripping away from each dollar and then passing it back down going through several more hands of rent seekers and then finally getting back down to the local level from which it started, that once single dollar has now been stripped down to a fraction of it's original size and then we wonder why nothing ever works or get's solved. What would the impact be if that entire dollar stayed local? Triple or more the results locally at over half the costs in tax savings. What would the economic impact be all that money staying local but then half the current tax costs staying in the local economy too? Think about it!
