#1 "Why should it fall on the backs of those folks to pay for the Big Dig?"

Because you kept voting back in office the ~~clowns~~ politicians that feed off that criminal enterprise. And you still do. Just consider it like being male and white having to make up for slavery or some other aspect of history that happened over a hundred years ago. You're guilty by group. Enjoy the 'ride'.

#4 Never seems to occur to these clowns to SPEND LESS, does it?

Sure it does! They'll just float a trial balloon of a high-profile painful cut to some necessary service. Then when the inevitable protest occurs, they'll 'give-in' and 'cancel' the cut.

#6 I've noticed a lot of sales tax plans lately. That combats the fact that 40% of the country doesn't pay income taxes.
