Our State and local Government have grown to big to fail, but they are killing us.
So they have decided to maintain their current size and expenses with little adjustments for window dressing.
They knew the real estate bubble was going to burst, they saw it coming, they have economist on their payroll and they decided to look the other way.
In Miami- Dade the commissioners decided not to confront the anger of the people and cowardly abstained themselves from voting for the budget.
These so called commissioners, representative of our taxpayers, respond very little to our interest and respond very much to the special interests.
These commissioners,which I question their formal education are career politicians, with some exceptions of course, that would not be successful running a business in the real world are now in control of our government and a Strong Mayor than instead of being running the county like Raul Martinez did in Hialeah, has kept a county manager to run the day to day operations. So what's the purpose?
The reality is that when the economy retracts the budgets must retract. This is true and brings a reality of how common sense and professionalism is used in budgeting in our capitalist society.
Lets remember our politicians, that we are a democratic and capitalistic society and not a socialistic society in which the government can abuse society members for the benefit of the government.
We the people understand our social responsibilities but ,we are angered by our local, state and federal governments misuse of our funds, and then after those abuses they want more of our money.
No, No, No......No more taxes...Get your budget balanced...If you need to cut expenses, cut them...If you need to cut the pension, cut it...If you need to stop the abuse, stop it...If you need to cut from payroll an employee ,cut it...If you need to cut a fireman from payroll , cut it....If you need to cut a police from payroll, cut it......... I know about this, because I am a business owner and I deal with budgets every day of my life and when I can't afford an employee with my heart broken, I have to let go.
We also have limited and shrinking budgets. Do politicians and government understand, that we the taxpayers have been affected by this recession and we don't have money to spare.
Is that so difficult to understand ? Nobody is helping my business nor my employees during these harsh times and now you want us to pay more taxes, local, state and federal.
Hey, we are watching you and we will exercise our vote and we will kick you out of office if you force us,
This is no a threat, this is a fact of life.
