Why do THEY simply not voluntarily give more of their OWN money to the MC budget, if they think wasteful govt ( redundant) spending is so great ?!! No one will spend your money as wisely as YOU do. And if you do waste it, that is your prerogative, because it's your money. <br />Forcing everyone to fall unto lockstep with what THEY decide is "best" is called either fascism, socialism or totalitarianism, last I checked. The bigger the govt, the more money it drains from taxpayer's pockets, along with the FREEDOM to decide how to allocate one's own money. Leftists want all the freedom in the world -- until it contradicts their view of how the world should be !! Just like Animal Farm - we're all equal, but some of us are more equal than others. Hahaha. " From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. " Hogwash. There is not one socialist system that has EVER succeeded the way free market capitalism has. One word - Venezuela ( who has the world's largest oil reserves and the govt has run out of TOILET PAPER !!! ( look it up !)<br />Socialism is an immoral system because it is antithetical to FREEDOM: <br />http://www.alt-market.com/articles/2886-socialism-is-an-immoral-system<br />Progressives PLEASE LEAVE ME AND MY WALLET ALONE. And yes, I am a lifelong MC resident and will move out if smarter, more rational people don't get elected in 2 years when 1/2 the council is Term Limited OUT. It's sadly ironic that liberals move away from the poor fiscal policies put in place by the liberals they elect, and so they move to places like Frederick to pay lower taxes but then bring their corrosive liberal policies with them until they run the new area into the ground. Please liberals, go weave baskets, make granola, bring home your upper 6-figure lobbyist paycheck, but leave the rest of us - and our wallets - alone !!! You're ruining my hometown !
