I will continue to vote for people who at least minimally recognize that we need to pay taxes to have public services, and I will willingly pay increased taxes to help make sure that everyone in the country has access to services involving education, health, transportation and such.
But at the same time, I can't help but note the irony that there will be a lot of teabaggers who hate government expecting the government to help them deal with the aftermath of the devastating storms and tornados.
I wonder if their sky fairy had something to do with what happened?
I wonder if their mega-churches will use as much money to rebuild as they use to buy politicians to oppress women and glbtq folks?
And yes, I have an appointment to donate my very life's blood next week (now that my arm has recovered from the booboo I got when the needle went all the way through the vein or whatever). I wonder if our governor donates regularly?
Yes, trenchant irony.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your life blood will course through a teabagger and induce a change of heart. One can only hope.
I suspect our Governor is, shall we say, a net importer of blood products.
