I am not jaded, I am pissed off.

I just don't find political observation on television entertaining and have grown bored with politicians always lying. I'll always challenge people to see if any actual thought went in to coming up with a belief or opinion.

Many people are total idiots incapable of intelligently defending their positions. Simple questions remind them of their stupidity so they get defensive.

When these politicians are intent on stealing from me in ways and amounts never before seen, I am not jaded, I am pissed off.

I really don't know if things are any worse than they have always been. My guess is that the pie has gotten so small we're all forced to notice it more.

Where I live in NYC - we are getting freaking hammered daily:

1.  Salt Bans
2.  soda Tax
3.  increased DMV fees.
4.  increased MTA fares
5.  increased property taxes
6.  increased surcharges on cell phones and other crap.
7.  MTA payroll tax


The govt is simply on an all out assault against the average person in ways I never ever remember.

New York state politicians are infamous for believing taxes are the cure for a shrinking economy.

I'd wealth/land redistribution is one of the goals.
