lollardfish"It's your money!" - Ah, the cry of the Republicans when they talk about taxes.
But it's also "your money" when no-bid contracts are given to corrupt corporate cronies who overcharge AND underperform.
It's also "your money" when it's squandered on 'pork-barrel' projects.
It's also "your money" that has kept Michael Brown (late FEMA director Brownie) on the government payroll as a 'consultant.'
It's also "your money" that pays Congress hefty salaries to work two days a week.
It's also "your money" that will, someday, have to deal with this deficit.

We're all in this together, and we're all supposed to contribute.
Makes me mad.
