Why must it always be about money to right-wingers? I am getting more and more convinced that this "quality of life" comparison is getting to mean no obligation to make one's own decisions.

What makes you think that the Republicans are the only ones who take money? My state is now pure Democrat. They've had their hands in everybody's pockets for decades. /BAH
