Taxpayers carry the cost of hauling trash away

With apologies to the old English teacher who wrote in to decry the use of the term “Democrat” party on the upcoming ballots, I found it amusing that he was the only person to notice this heinous crime. Can we be serious here?

This purported slur has been credited to a government employee. He would have had to be clever enough to know what he was doing and at the same time have a plausible deniability to that cleverness. A government employee? Are you serious?

The Democrat party is alive and well here in Greensboro, where a couple of dozen members living in housing the rest of us subsidize get to cost the rest of us millions of dollars having our trash hauled to another county. If the landfill is to remain closed, when do these subsidies get eliminated?

Get real man, we're on the threshold of doubling the entitlements via national 'health care'.

What a ridiculous piece of partisan crap!
What exactly IS your point, Mr. Brotherson??

BTW: Credit FauxNews contributor, Frank Luntz for the sudden use of "Democrat Party" versus "Democratic Party".

Just another childish ploy to denigrate the political opponents of the GOP. No meat, no discourse, just more Lee Atwater/Karl Rove type tactics to polarize America.
