Why is it right for District 6 administrators, staff and faculties to get a pay increase, when you deserve one more? They have retirement through the state. Do you? They have pay increases brokered by unions. Do you? Their wages consistently increase. Do yours by the same scale? Probably not.
Nothing is taxed to life; only to death. The taxes you pay go into other pockets. If you are paying more at the pump, the grocery store, the appliance store and the restaurant, chances are your spending power has gone down in the past year. You have had to cut back. But the local cutthroats, liberals and socialists think that the schools, government welfare programs, and salaries of everyone linked to aspects of government need to increase. So, they tax more. They spend more. And they continue to hire. (Check with our senators and representatives to verify that fact; Sam Hill did.) They don't get it.
You need to show up at city council meetings and demand that fees for services be dropped, as well as your property taxes. You need to call your state legislator including socialist Grandpa Jim Riesburg (who never met a spending bill he didn't like). Demand cutbacks instead of increases. And demand they repeal regulations that are strangling progress (including the 170+ pages that Comrade Ritter slammed against the oil and gas industry this Spring here in Colorado). Do you want money? Jobs? Stability for your family? Then do something about it. Or, keep looking to the hand of the all-knowing, all-powerful government. Sure they will care for you....until they implode and chaos ensues. It's closer than you think, and the liberals are driving the bus. I would rather pay you, than pay them. It's time for government to shrink at an alarming rate, and your wallet to benefit by comparison.
