They are the enemy, because they take our tax dollars so that we can't have even basic infrastructure. And a lot of times we have no choice but to rely on single industries. What are we supposed to do when the government pulls funding for a factory that employs 40% of the town's population and relocates it to Chicago? What about when the government just refuses to help our infrastructure or education? Just conjure up our tax dollars, which go primarily to the state and then to the major cities? We're not even allowed to use our own money for our own problems.
Because that’s how tax money works. Your not the only county In the state. Your tax money shouldn’t go to state highways or other major projects?
The factory also chose to leave.
Are you also suggesting you get more representation than your population allows or have system where you must win a majority of counties to win statewide office?
