[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 394635, member: 315"] To all whom say “if you don’t like it run for office”. In a perfect world that makes perfect sense in reality it’s a sham. Throughout the country different ruling factions are notoriously made up of “the good old boy network” so to speak. They run for office to fulfill certain personal desires or desires of a group they run with. This is especially true in small states like ours. And these are usually the most outspoken/dominating type of people. So when the people elect someone that will fight for things as reduced spending, they get in and they’re immediately put in their place by the old guard. Or they are wooed into the old guards way of thinking by making it worth their while, etc. They also can’t do a damn thing because they’re one vote against many. The majority of people that run for offices are usually those with close ties to the movers and shakers in town. People that want to expand their populations, sports complexes etc. there are very few true conservatives in this state anymore. In past years community improvement projects were spread headed by civic organizations such as the jaycees, knights of Columbus, etc etc. They led the charge on fundraising. The majority of which came from pancake breakfasts, raffles etc. They didn’t want the people taxes to death nor did they want their cities in debt. People give willingly under these types of processes. We have gone completely away from that philosophy. We are a “have to have it now no matter the cost” populace now. And that has brought us to where we are today. An epic disaster of taxation. [/QUOTE]
