School children will be eating overdue library books

greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread

Old people are going to buy Flu vaccine off the dealers in the street. Heavy beer drinkers are going to be recruited to put out fires. We are going to be issued ticket books so we can write our own speeding and parking ticekts.

All the cops are going to become hookers because we won't have the money to pay them anymore.

And Olympia is going to fall into a crevice in the earth..

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood..

Can you say 695!!!!!

Your attempt at prognostication of the backlash of passing I-695 is a text-book example of how brain-washed a lot of the American public have become from the media and money-grubbing politicians.

The government of this state already takes an inordinate amount of money from hard-working citizens. The money we citizens earn is OUR MONEY and WE allow the government to TAX us for the purpose of providing the services WE deem necessary. Pray tell, what is wrong with US demanding an accounting for how OUR MONEY IS SPENT?

Let's be realistic here, we will all survive. Taxes will still be collected. But, maybe, just maybe, the politicians we elect will be more judicious in how money is spent!
