At year's end, my family and my government are SWIPED OUT! Happy New Year.

Seriously, to enhance the tax base and to lower the debt from both our federal and local governments we need to PRIVATIZE everything; for example: school nurses contracted from local hospitals, school custodians contracted from Marriott Hotels, toll collectors contracted from senior citizen clubs, Department of Education contracted from local private universities, etc. Result: reduction of nepotism/cronyism and reduction of tax-payer pensions! And, by the way, we can fire employees when they perform poorly. What a concept.
