I'm sick and tired of listening to people bitch and complain that the State (or every other government entity in the country) does not have enough money. They could cut every department budget (and workforce) by 10% and nobody would even notice. They want more money to fix Downing's Landing? Good, then let them cut it from something else instead of imposing more fees and taxes. I have one message for you and the rest of the politicians: STAY AWAY FROM MY WALLET!
Seaplane Pilot, while I certainly agree with your displeasure regarding the insatiable appetite of government in it's quest for revenue; I fail to see why you view the suggestion by fatlazyless that we should consider making a voluntary contribution, as an assault on your wallet.
