I notice a few causes. First, churches, second taxes. They are all under the impression that their taxes are already funding the urban areas. They cant fathom that the opposite is actually true. Think of the costs of their road maintenance, Law enforcement, education, infrastructure and scale of the actual country side. All of this is supposedly, in their minds, paid for by their paltry little taxes that they pay. My moms county only has 16,000 people. All the while also funding all the urban areas. They are delusional and unreasonable. Oh and the racism.

Highly recommended. k&r n/t Laelth Nov 2020 #1
