It's a real problem when the people won't pay for the government services that they (the people) have demanded the government provide...

Roads, transportation, garbage pick-up, etc., are not entitlements!

I wish we could just say to these people "you dug the hole, you figure out how to fill it in -- we have our own problems" but that won't happen...
