If the federal government is going to be doling out money, we’ll be asking for our fair share,” Reed said. “As the 10th largest city in the country, we should at least get 2 percent. That would be fair.” San Jose (California) Mayor, Chuck Reed.
Fair? What is fair would be that you do not get federal taxpayers money! Keep in mind that while San Jose has suffered like most in this economy, they are not in the “red.” The major just wants his piece of the pie. And that is why democracy can fail – everyone wants a piece of the pie and no one is in the kitchen baking ‘em.
It used to be to get help from America, you’d bomb them or declare war on them and then after they win the war that you started, America would totally rebuild your country and expect nothing in return – not even respect or a thank you. Now start a business, get really big, give employees and bosses anything they want, don’t worry about the details, America will totally rebuild your company. Just ask! No problemo!
