who cares? The government is competing against the "private sector" and succeeding! Not costing the public a dime! Power to the people! Hope this shuts up the stupid Republicans who always say the government always cost the people more money, what a lie. Local governments are the best. When you talk about the local government you are talking about a system where you know where every dime is going and you can vote for or against any issue you want and they are taking either 1%-3% of your money. The people that run these cities sometimes don't even have opponents to run against, they just like being involved. I would never want my local government shut down for even one hour. Then, we go to the State level where they take 5%-8% of all your money and then 5% or more when you buy something new(talk about a regressive tax) and then 5% or more when you buy something used. I know that you can find where most of the money goes but they could shut down for a couple weeks and I wouldn't know the difference. Then, you have the federal government who takes most of your money and it goes into the eternal abyss of waste or social programs to redistribute the wealth. I wish the federal government would just shut down, but we have too many government jobs employing people that actually think they are needed, when the reality is they are just a part of the big social program. Our only solution is for the government to know where every dime is going and to have programs like the local cities suchas this one to save the people money!
