Ok, so we agree that the bridge was built and paid for by the Feds during the Obama administration. So thank him everytime you cross it. I'm not sure what you are trying to say with all the rest of your ranting. We had a lot more of the middle class living on the island when they tried to impose the cost of the bridge on our residents. Today, you are correct, the wealthy should be charged a primium just for the privlege of gazing on it. The feds didn't spend enough on the stimulas? I agree. Florida has been run by Republicans for quite awhile. So any complaints about a bureaucracy out of control should be directed at conservatives not progressives. After all, history has already established that Republicans spend more then they collect and when given the chance to govern us, they either give it all to the rich or spend all the rest of it. Anyone who has lived in this country for the last 30 years knows what I say is true. You Republicans act like the country has stood still since Ronald Reagan left office. We are so much bigger, every segment of our society has grown and as a result, our government has so much more responsiblity. Shadow: The President is a salaried employee and he has his taxes deducted from his paycheck evey month. Yes, he did pay his fair share. Did you?

"We are so much bigger" - therein lies the problem. The only thing that has grown in the last 2-1/2 years is the size of government. I guess when we all work for the government and there is no private enterprise at all it is called what? Socialism would be the kindest terminalogy. The Bush era began the spend what you don't have philosophy and now all we can talk about is how many trillions our debt is. I certainly feel badly for the next generation. At least I'll be dead and gone. Our children will never have what we had because they will be trying to pay the bill we left them. Vote for those that want a balanced budget amendment added to our Constitution.
