A little off subject
Down here in S. Florida, the BSO (Broward Sheriffs Office) receives @ 722 million dollars per year collected from property taxes. That's a ton of money for the police. its enough to pay a $35000 salary to 20,000 police. Off course most of that money goes to lock up non-violent criminals, who could be helped with that kind of money, through rehab and welfare. They have around 6000 police and 600 firefighters. In my opinion no government employee should make over the median income of the US. The main problem is, while families are forced to cut back expenses, governments are only forced to meet their budget. It's kind of like when FedEx raises shipping prices when the price of gas rises but does not lower them when it drops. The police are the biggest gang of them all an commit more wrong doings to society than any other gang. Governments are downsizing a little, but not anywhere near what the average citizen is. People who lost their jobs are being paid half of what they were making originally. Retirement funds have dropped by 50%. Property value has dropped by close to 50% depending on the area, more in other areas like Detroit. To me it makes common sense to have governments drop their budgets by at least 50%. This would get crooked politicians & employees out of office/position and may even invite people whose mind set is based on service not money. Now we are going to be forced to buy health care or pay a $1500 fine which is less than what health care costs. The majority of people are not heard anymore. Only the lobbyists are heard. Federal, state, & local governments are totally evading our constitutional rights & have been for some time. |
