Annex should get a ‘no’ vote
read more recent story comments Reader comments| Kim Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 1:38 pm More from Kim  | Obamacare only "taxes" free riders who get all their medical treatment at emergency rooms and don't pay for it. I would think that kind of tax would make the greedy and the ignorant happy. As for the annexation - yeah heaven forbid the city actually being able to afford to keep the roads free of pot holes and the bridges from collapsing into the river. Those jerks. Come on. If you're going to drive on the roads and walk on the sidewalks, someone has to pay for their upkeep. |

| jimenicholls2 Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 1:55 pm More from jimenicholls2 | "A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the dominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, an aristocracy, or a majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body." -- John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist |

| jimenicholls2 Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 2:01 pm More from jimenicholls2 | My guess is "Kim" works for government or is very close to someone that does...what do you the real patriots think?! |
| Kim Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 2:29 pm More from Kim | No, I don't work for the government and Kim is my real name. I'm a graduate of Martinsville High School with a 3.8/4.0GPA then went to Purdue University where I was on the Dean's List and I'm smart enough to know that nothing in this world is free. Someone has to pay for streets to be fixed. I live in Martinsville so currently my tax money (I own a home) is paying for everyone else to drive on them. Only socialists drive to work and the store I suppose? |
| Kim Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 2:37 pm More from Kim | Oh and I don't know anyone that works for the government. Patriots know they have to pay for freedom. Schools are freedom to knowledge. Roads are freedom to drive. Real patriots know that only the misinformed and idiots take for granted like roads and bridges and schools that must be paid for by government or they crumble. Change the channel. Fox News has rotted your brain and destroyed your ability to look past your own nose into a greater reality. Stop being so myopic. |
| Doug Arthur Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 3:53 pm More from Doug Arthur | I ask you all; do not relate bullying as being a Patriot. It's actually narrow mindedness and fear of the unknown. “When one professes to have all the answers to all the questions and debates, they are hiding behind the foolery of ignorance." Doug Arthur 2012 ( from; On Blowguts and Sounds from Other Meaningless Matter) |
| not.again Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 4:17 pm More from not.again | With the arguments these "any government is bad government" fanatics are ranting, it's a wonder there is any town with a population greater than 20,000! |
| nobodyimportant Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 5:56 pm More from nobodyimportant | Kim is just a voice running against the grain. He point about where we get our information and whether or not we can discern its truthfulness is well-taken. Two cable channels to avoid UNLESS you want to keep abreast of the crazies are FOX News and MSNBC. While it should be acknowledged that EVERY news source is owned by someone or someones who want to see their perspective front and center, FOX and MSNBC, Russ Limbaugh, "ED", and the not too reverand Sharpton take it to an absurd level. |
| n m p 1 Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 7:20 pm More from n m p 1 | Kim everyone who buys gas in the town of Martinaville pays taxes for the pot holes. The state owns the new bridge learn who and where you get taxed. |
| Kim Wednesday, July 11, 2012: 9:24 pm More from Kim | There's more than one bridge and taxes pay for more than just potholes. I was just using those as examples of the bigger picture. Taxes pay for the infrastructure you take for granted. Stop complaining and do your duty to your neighbors. And I wouldn't watch MSNBC if it was the only channel working any more than I'd watch Fox. News should not be politically slanted otherwise it's not news, it's propaganda. |
