Elizabeth Warren Candidate for Senate
This is one time I wish I could vote for someone from Massachusetts. Kerry and Dukakis got my votes in early presidential votes but I was less than inspired and I thought their candidacies were somewhat doomed.
Elizabeth Warren in spite of charges about her ethnicity, which I equate to posturing about the Viet Nam War by candidates who did not serve in that war is running her race and I hope she wins.
I think she is speaking truth when she reminds people about the interdependency of people in the private sector and the public sector. Infrastructure be it roads, education, police, fire and the common defence all contribute to the well being of the country.
Too often the augments are either/or, take it or leave it, my way or the highway and other extreme ideas that are holding this country back.
The way things are going it isn't leading it's misleading.

It's important to remember that the infrastructure "be it roads, education, police, fire and the common defence" is paid for by taxes. The private sector pays the taxes. So actually the government didn't build it, the tax paying private sector individuals and businesses did.
ReplyDeleteYes, but there is a great amount of interpendence. Ironically after Hurricance Andrew there were about 30,000 military personnel in South Florida helping with traffic and providing logistical assistance for the people in South Dade County. I'm glad they were the ones carrying the guns and not me as I worked for months in Homestead.
DeleteAnd maybe we and they don't pay as much in taxes as our desire for services would indicate would be prudent.
Completely agree. The crux of it is the judgemnt of what is prudent.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are lucky someone will take our markers while we figure it out.
