More State Punishment of People
More State Punishment of People
Posted by Butler Shaffer on July 12, 2011 02:36 PM
Whenever the state gets into financial difficulties, and people resist the idea of being bled with more taxes, the politicians threaten to take away the few "services" the general public actually want. California did this back when Prop. 13 was passed: local governments reacted by cutting back on library hours, park usage, etc. Now the Emperor threatens to withhold Social Security payments unless members of Congress agree to a tax increase!
When these moral slugs who just love posing as "representatives" and "servants" of the public start cutting back on hours of work at the DMV, or tax collection offices, or the police out hassling teenage pot smokers, they may reclaim a sliver of the credibility that they long ago lost.
