Greetings From The Publisher

2010 is now two months away and with it comes campaign season for another round of elections.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve about had my fill of politicians who only play politics to better their positions and do very little to serve the people and better society.

I think you’d be hard pressed to name one politician who has not compromised themselves with campaign promises made to gain your vote - only to back peddle once they get into office.

To “make things better,” they pass laws to monitor our movements (cameras on street corners), restrict our possessions (enact gun laws that only affect law abiding citizens), force us to purchase insurance (car and health), and then increase our taxes to pay for it all.

In their effort at economic development, they increase our property taxes by purchasing land at 10 or more times the going value - then give it away to attract prospective industry and offer them 5 year tax abatements. We gain 50 jobs, 3,000 people pay higher property taxes forever - and the industry pays none for the five year abatement (which is usually extended another five years after the first one expires).

And as we’ve seen all too often in the news, while the politicians are removing money from your wallet, some of them are stuffing their personal bank accounts with your hard earned cash.

It’s past time that we hold the people we elect to office accountable for their actions and their votes on important issues. If you aren’t satisfied with “how things are,” there are only a handful of people responsible. Vote their butts out of office and elect someone else. And if those people don’t put a stop to the madness, there will always be another election - unless we let them take that right too.
