Good point, tj. It’s amazing how righties can distance themselves from the idea of government. As if the mean old “local government” depicted here is not made up of fellow taxpayers; fellow community people trying to solve problems. As long as rightwingers can avoid paying another (gasp!) $10/year in taxes, it’s OK with them that others struggle to keep local services going. If meanies in local government decided not to pay for street snowplows this winter, guess who would start screaming about inept government? Maybe only plow the streets of those willing to do their part.
