Spending YOUR Money
In Miami, Florida, they're spending $347 million on a new stadium, WITHOUT input from the people from whom they "extracted" the money. They're also "loaning" the stadium people another $35 million (does anybody ever expect to see any of that money back?). They're doing the same in cities across the nation without major fanfare. I don't go to baseball games; or football games; or soccer games; or any other events that take place in stadiums. Yet Denver, where I live, has spent their own millions on THREE new stadiums, just since I've lived here. They've also torn down several at the same time. Nobody ever asked ME for permission. What the hell gives the local government the right to SUBSIDIZE one kind of private business (such as a football team) and not another (such as MY business)? I guess politicians just think the money they spend is theirs to spend the way they want to spend it. (Common Sense)
