I'd like you to attempt to explain this, if you can. Which
government
services are in more demand from "rich" people?

How about the Park Service? The gov't owns huge tracts of land which
are
very nice to visit... poor people can't afford to retire & tour the
countryside in motor homes.

Oh please! You are really reaching. The parks are free. Anyone can
visit them, rich and poor alike.


The parks are free, eh?

Simpleton.

No, they are not anymore. The government is making it a cash cow.
Under
Clinton and the Park Service. (I mention Clinton, to blunt you putting
it
on the current administration) they raised the fees at Yosemite to $20
entry. This did price out the single mom from Madera, or other nearby
areas
from a day trip. And most of the people who go to Yosemite are not
driving
motor homes. It is a local park to a lot of California. Is only 150
miles
from San Francisco. But a lot of the subsidized transportation directly
benefits the poor. They can now jump on BART and head to the burb's to
rob
and jump back on the train to home.



Jesus. Even when there wasn't an admittance charge, the parks were not
free. Can't you understand the concept? If there is no specific user
fee, but it is a public facility, the cost of operating and maintaining
it is buried in a budget somewhere. There is no free lunch.

Are you upset that poor folks can hop on "subsidized" transportation and
get to work? How about the rich lawyers who ride to work on public
transportation Are they not subsidized, too? If you are caught offshore
in your boat and have to be rescued by the Coast Guard, is that service
not subsidized?

I love your line about the poor riding BART so they can commit robbery
in the suburbs. How about the defense contractor employees who ride BART
and once they get to their office, rob the public's treasury? Who do you
think steals more?



Probably you Harry. Charging your clients for lots of billable hours while
on the internet. You a corporation? I guess then you are allowed to steal
in your thinking.



Sorry, but I only charge for billable hours when I am doing billable work.

Harry, are you going to back up your allegations? Where are the 20-30
racist posts you saw?

Or was that just another Krausism?

I have no interest in watching your d.f. posts regurgitate through my
news reader.

Well Harry, I guess you've just proven again that you really *aren't*
worthy of any civility. You can't seem to handle it.

You "have no interest" because you are, quite simply, a liar.
