on most things in your day to day life. For example, the town I live in went back to school full time for the 20-21 year because the locals demanded it from their elected leaders. We also have local govt and citizens that demand and vote for a system that protects people's safety and personal property.

Memphis can keep on voting for soft on crime politicians who are letting thugs terrorize the law abiding citizens. Oh well, not really my problem, just avoid the city for the most part now.

Nationally and state wide, the govt is going to take your money and throw it away no matter who you vote for. Because 99% of people who vote are going to vote R vs. D.
