We pay different amounts of money in taxes but we don't get proportionate services. Let's see.

Police, fire, sanitation

I never see the police in my neighborhood except when they're giving out parking tickets.
There have been no fires in my neighborhood for years. Once in awhile an ambulance comes by because someone is sick. The garbage is picked up 5 days a week. No one puts out much garbage.

In the poor neighborhood 3 miles from me the police are busy, busy, busy. The firemen are busy, busy, busy. The ambulances are running constantly, lots of people being shot and stabbed.
Piles of garbage are on the street, full of fast food containers.

I pay a lot of taxes and get almost nothing for all I pay.

The poor pay no taxes and are siphoning off all the tax revenue.

Oh, I forgot.

The poor neighborhood has housing projects. The poor either pay no rent or they pay very little. Their electric and heat are included.

The poor get food stamps and Medicaid.

Life at the Bottom by Theodore Dalrymple

From Publishers Weekly
Filled with poignant stories of women and men trapped in destructive behaviors and environments, this volume puts forth a vision of the modern world and of intellectualized modernism as hell but offers few concrete or theoretical solutions. Dalrymple, a noted conservative columnist in London's the Spectator, collects pieces he wrote for the conservative City Journal, using his own work as a physician in British slums and prisons as fodder for an analysis of the underclass: "not poor... by the standards of human history" but trapped in "a special wretchedness" from which it cannot emerge. Most of his patients put their violence in the passive: the murderer who says "the knife went in" as though he had no control; the man who beat his girlfriend and then exclaimed, " `I totally regret everything that happen' [sic] as if... [it] were a typhoon in the East Indies." The fault, Dalrymple asserts, is not bad environments, but a pervasive liberal view and agenda that creates "passive, helpless victims," encourages the idea that the acceptance of "unconscious motivations for one's acts" obviates personal responsibility, and the "widespread acceptance of social determinism." Dalrymple makes many astute observations on British social attitudes about wealth, the tattooing of white youths and urban redevelopment, and his writing is graceful and often witty. But his main points get hammered home too quickly and too often. His critique of liberalism and the welfare state, while sometimes provocative, is spelled out in the introduction and repeated again and again. While Dalrymple is preaching to the converted, his vivid writing and often heartbreaking stories rise above his deeply felt but repetitive social analysis.

LA Times can't release the video because it was given to them by Hillary and her campaign.

It would destroy both of the liberal nominees as well as lead to a interncide battle of epic portions as Obama demented followers destroyed Clinton and her followers for bringing down the "Chicago Dope".

Now Bill Richardson is saying that under Obama middle class (for tax cut purposes) will be defined at no more than $120,000. Gee the target keeps getting lower and lower. Why is that?
I also wonder how much of that money raised winds up in some private Cayman Islands bank account for the One's retirement. If he's fraudulent with accepting the monies he will be fraudulent as to reporting and expensing it as well.
