- Un-SND Rumors An example of how our government RUNS AWAY from
- ------------- a problem (that could be used as a solution),
- instead of running the government as a business:
-
- Governor Weld of Massachusetts wants to privatize
- two toll roads there (toll means they charge you $$$).
-
- Trouble is, instead of figuring out a way to maximize
- profits for BOTH state & federal governments from these
- toll roads (who BOTH need it in this Great Recession),
- the great governor there would rather MINIMIZE the
- government's income & maximize private business's income.
-
- ALOT of people benefit when run by state/federal
- but only a FEW benefit when run by a private business
- in a case such as this.
-
- A funny rumor has surfaced about this. Both the
- states of Connecticut & CALIFORNIA are rumored
- to be interested in taking over those toll roads
- in Massachusetts. Seems they would NOT have to
- pay Massachusetts any TAX money on any profit they
- made but they would have to pay tax to themselves
- & to the Federal government. Thus helping Massachusetts
- to minimize its income as its Governor obviously wants.
- CALIFORNIA is especially interested. It plans on
- earning enough money to get rid of it's JUNK FOOD tax
- and thereby prevent the "twinkie riots". California
- would also use the money to provide better training
- & equipment & support to their police & fire departments.
- They've got some of the best cops in the U.S.
- (my opinion) who could be even better if WE
- support them.
-
- This whole idea of privatizing what belongs to
- WE the PEOPLE is a good example of why WE the PEOPLE
- have so little to fall back on in tough times.
-
- Even funnier is how our Government gives away our land
- & our resources to private business for pennies.
- The Government should ALWAYS lease our land & resources
- AND not for pennies. If WE the PEOPLE tied the salary
- of our elected officials to how well they ran our (business)
- government why....(DON't forget, I'm not an expert).
