So Much Ado About Nothing
Our annual national election day has come and gone and what has actually changed? My taxes will certainly go up because some people do not understand that government must also be fiscally responsible. They just go ahead and vote for levies against the price of their houses instead of asking themselves just why the local government needs more of their money. The city certainly does not ask permission when the local municipal thieves reassess the price of your house and get more money. Well, at least we got to vote.
I know that the big three auto makers were forced to pay their UAW represented employees to stay home to vote. I am sure by the tremendous turnout, that most of them spent their day ferrying people back and forth to the polling stations. It is just another perk that the UAW has negotiated that increases the cost of your cars and really provides no additional benefit. I work 10 hours per day and drive 90 minutes round trip for work and I still managed to perform my constitutional privilege. Maybe it is not a matter of patriotism but of time management. I am sure that the members of the UAW were very busy on their day off.
Since this was an off year for elections, no new Earth shattering events happened. Ohio kept liberal election reform from creating additional bureaucracy and providing more government cronies jobs for life. The Michigan town of Hillsdale elected an 18 year old mayor. Talk about getting into politics early. Other than that, it was a very non-descript election. I was happy that we did not take up the Iraqi practice of dying the finger purple as verification that your vote was cast. I am sure that in the last presidential election, they would have had to exhume a few people to look at their fingers.
