Point A to Point B

Ok...now what I want to know is this:

If the Republicans and the Tea Party were to prevail in the midterms and then in '12 the concept of small government would go into overdrive. Right...?

And speaking of driving...how do you expect to get from Point A to Point B without highways? Gated communities would obviously have their own roads, nicely paved and landscaped, but the minute you drive your Mercedes out of that gate you are on a public, presumably, dirt road.

Now what? Big tires with huge tread on your Mini? A four wheel drive Smart Car?
Are you kidding?

And who will land your private plane as it arrives at Teterboro? A private flight contoller? Trained and inspected by whom?

And insofar as inspection is concerned...who will inspect the pate at the trattoria you frequent on Rodeo Drive? Who will make sure it's okay to eat? But that probably wouldn't be a problem as your private doctor will be able to pump your stomach much better than the local ER will.

Who will teach your kids...oh, sorry, forgot...they are all at Sidwell Friend's.

Give me a break. You whine about taxes but who pays for everything? We all do, or should...and we should be glad to do it...we have 911 and EMTS and cops (sorry about that too...you have your own security forces...Blackwater of Palm Beach)and the Interstate and the USDA and the EPA and the military...let's not forget our "troops" about whom you are always singing praise...don't you care that they are guarding our safety and freedom (I don't think we can stop a nuke, even with an AK-47...which, of course you only have for hunting...)?

I guess not if you live on a tax free private island in the Carribean. But you should care about NOAA and the Hurricane prediction folks.

If they don't warn you, you might be washed out to sea without your Evian water to keep you going.

So, go ahead and diminish government. Elect the lunatics who want to cut taxes and abolish the Department of Education, Medicare and Social Security.

Vive La Republique!...or as Don McLean once said, "Bye Bye Miss American Pie..."
