More Government Failure

I attended the LOIT meeting tonight. Mr. Mcwert, was very adamant that Marion was running on less then other cities. Well Marion may have less people working then others do too.

The Grant Co. Council will pass the LOIT, no doubt. They believe that the citizen needs to "pay for it", since the budget shows it will short fall in 2010. They blame the state for cutting taxes.

The idea of cutting taxes is that the citizen pays less, not that a different group applies the tax.

This city is full of pride and unwilling to deal with the fact that the nation is falling into depression. Living on less, is the answer, not raising taxes.

While I was there at the meeting, ten people spoke against the LOIT, and one person spoke for it. The LOIT, as the Trash Tax, is extortion by the elite. Over one hundred were there, and most apposed the tax.

Many of the citizens said:"Cut services and cut taxes." To that I say "amen".

Don't be surprised when they pass the LOIT. It is pretty much a done deal. I will personally vote against any one of these self-absorbed council men who vote to pass it, if given a chance to. The nation has fallen into the "entitlement lie". That means everyone feels they are entitled to something from the government. The Council seems to operate under the same lie. Fact is Marion is not frugal. It overpays its employees, and it over spends on New Equipment.

The lie that the citizen needs someone in government to do everything for them has created the nanny state. Nanny's are expensive.

I say it is time to let the people be free. Offer less police protection, and give us back our guns. We can not afford the present bloated government. They should, pick up trash without fee. You should, do your jobs without fanfare. Serve the people!

I will however say one good thing about the council members. They were not for the most part, rude and condescending like the mayor.
