"nearly simultaneous $71 million cut was announced in the New Orleans district budget"
My goodness! NO doesn't want to spend their own money on their chronic problem and it's MY? fault? I live ABOVE sea level. That has always seemed prudent. I enjoy diving below sea level, however. A visit, only. Wouldn't want to live there.
Perhaps a tourist tax, $1/drink, for those that just can't get along without NO? Not enough? Let's see ... 10Million + tourists/year, at least 5 drinks each ... Maybe $2/drink? Maybe a hotel room tax? 20% perhaps. An additional 'Fat Tuesday' tax? I think we can easily come up with $200M + per year. But then, NO has probably already done this and spends it on corruption, not infrastructure. Must be Shrubs fault.
Perhaps a tax on the industry that is being crippled because I didn't give them enough money to protect their own livelyhoods?
But, as I see in my own community, the whiners never want to spend any money unless they can get it from me. They seem to need to be told what to do. A true slave mentality.
Why don't they contribute their 'fair share' of taxes, even if I don't? How about Soros, Gates, Hines, Buffet just ignoring the 'fat cat' tax cut and pay what they think they should be paying? Are they so impotent that they can't take control of even their own wallets? Why do they let poor little me control what they do? Stamp your feet, little boys --- have a tantrum if I don't want to do what you think is 'right' but that you don't have the fortitude to do yourself.
Sad, really. |
