Re: It's not about pay (@ Tom 38)
I smell sarcasm there. "Socialism" is the buzz word that the tories like to throw out at people who enjoy the civilization upgrades that come with a progressive governments using tax monies on the infrastructure; roads, clean water, free elections, etc. It's the assholes who claim they hate paying taxes, yet are driving around in monster trunks on "my" roads that form this "hypocrites parade." If you don't like paying taxes, go visit a tax-free, "non-socialist" country like Afghanistan and check out their "roadways" and other crap infrastructure that no one cares for, even after it was built and offered to them by our crafty war-profiteers, er, I mean friendly companies doing business during the various recent wars in their region, that we made up. Those crafty WMDs! Clearly their tech was so advanced the threats were invisible. Also, we're now protected from polar bear and tiger attacks in the continental US! Hooray! USA! USA!
"Okay, we invaded the shit out of your country and offed the only non-Muslim friend we had here, but check out this nice power station we're leaving behind. Here's the instructions on how to opera..."
*BOOM*
"Well, never mind about that power station now. It's just a crater in the name of allah-balla-boo. WTF were we doing here again?"
Biting the hand that feeds IT
