I never could understand the logic of Americans who demand public services like police, fire, hospitals, roads, traffic lights, internet, water, sewage, parks, etc., and then turn right around and vote leaders out of office the second they whisper the words "raise" and "taxes" in the same sentence. Where does everyone think the money will come from? Of course it's always more complicated than that, but this country strikes me as one that demands to have its cake and eat it too. It's too bad that it could take a slide into "third world" status (whatever that might be) before the masses realize how entitled and illogical they often seem to act.
