Local vs National Control: let's do some critical thinking, people

Above is exhibit A. I see this sort of thing all over the People's Republic of Madison, Wisconsin.

This begs the question, would you rather donate to a local charity or the United Way? Why? If you would rather donate to a local charity than a national one, let's apply the same principle to the overall rate of taxation in America.

I am such a nice guy. Really, I am. I believe the world is a harsh place, therefore I believe overall taxation rates need to be kept at current levels in order to help the "little" man in his battle for social justice. Therefore, let's give local government 30% of our income. After all, they know how best to help the diverse types of underprivileged people living in their unique community. Let's keep the state taxation rate at its current level. And lets give the federal government a flat-rate amount roughly equal to what municipalities receive from local property taxes.

Local is better, right? Come on buddy, be honest! Yeah! Slap hands! If you won't slap my hand, this means you are a big government hypocrite! You are voting to defeat the expertise that local community organizations can give to local people with local problems! It means that all the propaganda has fooled you into believing that ONLY national government can solve our problems!

With warm weather around the corner, I'll soon be greeting everyone I meet at the local farmer's market with a big grin on my face. My philosophy means that I am consistent in my approach in wanting to help local people directly rather than allowing elites to skim money off the top.

Deny my logic, and you deny truth. Power to the People. No, really. Very truly yours,

A. Critical Thinker

P.S. I offer free training if you are interested. I also believe in free education.

Concord

Concord is a firm believer in the original intent of the constitution, the prophetic words of our founding fathers, and the power of self governance to maintain righteousness, justice, prosperity and liberty in America. Concord is not a believer in government control, however convenient it is, secular education, however liberating it may feel, or evolutionary constitutionalism, however politically correct it sounds. At 27, Concord spends much of her time writing, reading, running, and hanging with her main man, Charlie Brown. She is working her way through the 50 states.

Lexington

Lexington is not and has never been a syndicated columnist and only recently earned a college degree. He chooses to make his points with common sense instead of using lofty and unintelligible academic logic. Even more impressive is his ability to make his own terms up, like 'wordology'. He used to reside with his guns in a community trailer park overseas, but now he fights in the land of CONUS against the Imperial Walkers of Janet Napolitano, along with his furry friend, the pumpkin princess. As a humanitarian he would relentlessly waterboard any foreigner planning a devastating attack against America if it meant he could get the information to stop it, thus saving lives (that's the humanitarian part), but would never drill a hole in an unborn babies head (again, a humanitarian). He is 33 years old.
