I notice Republicans blame all ills on Democrats, and Democrats blame Republicans. No one is 100 percent right all of the time or wrong 100 percent of the time; but really, let's put blame where it belongs. Like the gas shortages, did we the American people do anything to conserve? No! We still have to drive our gas guzzlers and heaven forbid we cut our speed. At stop lights we floor board these monsters and reach that 60 miles per hour in three seconds. Heaven forbid we go to a smaller vehicle; we did! We bought a Toyota, used for economy.
One evening we were leaving a VFW club and a man driving a four-wheel drive pickup asked my husband if he is a vet. My husband told him he was and the man said he couldn't be loyal and drive an import, especially a Japanese import. I really thought World War II was over. We drive what we can afford and do what we can to conserve.
By the way Sheriff Benton, a new building would be nice but how about remodeling an empty store building. I'd love to have a home on the beach but I can't afford it. Wake up when the well goes dry, there just isn't any water.
I believe we're all paying all in taxes we can afford.
