Karl Monetti - How giving of you!

Of course, some of us are much more selfish than you. We would like to be able to spend our money on things that are important to us ... like our mortgages and heating our homes, maybe helping our kids go to college.

And, some of us are aware that government employees make an average of 52% more than similar employees in the private sector, so we reason that if we tell government "NO, keep your hands out of my wallet" that we can contract with private companies to do a great deal of what government does now ... for a lot less because we would be able to negotiate rather than have some elected officials vote on what our theft-by-tax rate ought to be.
