I think it's unrealistic to expect the state to cut back on services and chop the budget to compensate for the drop in revenue.



Why? Retailers, Churches, Family, and Employees often have to make due with what we decide to give them. Why should politicians and bureaucrats have a higher priority then everyone else combined? Exactly who works for who in this arrangement?


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
