In reply to the discussion: Why should I pay for ________? [View all]lunasun
(21,646 posts)4. Reminds me of some jerk I was forced to talk to (for work) complaining about paying taxes
It was on or around the 4/15 tax deadline, never took a breath spewing all the anti tax rw crap that is so common nowadays
Then went on to tell about a great trip he just had through a national park and he just flew back yesterday. I am sitting there thinking of the FAA who got his plane safely up and down . Both airports and all the government workers there for security and order , roads traveled to and from his destination etc.
oh and did he say a national park ???????
