No drama books in your new library got it. What about history, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, etc? And will there be any staff? Any librarians or clerks? Any public restrooms, because if so, they’ll need someone to clean them or will we all just bring our own Ajax to the library?

I’m hopeful we get public healthcare. Maybe they’ll also do away with the limit on medicare taxes, so everybody pays medicare taxes up to the full amount of income. Rather than only the first $90,000.

I went to catholic school, there were a few that were not catholic in my class. during “Religion” they left the class & were tutored in another subject. I am not a religious person but I respect a persons choice if they are. Personally I view the bible as a set of rules to keep the people under control with the threat of the eye in the sky. do you believe we should be teaching our children to worshiping a president or teaching perspective based on party lines?

Art, Music….. anything that you would find in the libraries today. why would you try to twist my personal views? do you understand that if we were not taxed something like a library would not go unfunded. there are way too many people that use the library that would give up cash for that cause. some other social programs not so much.

I’m hopeful we don’t. the government is not built for efficiency, only effectiveness. they don’t care how much of our money they throw at a problem.

now, now, your going to have to take this a little more seriously then that if you want to play. on the bright side, you haven’t cussed once during this conversation. we covered schools, private schools. the freedom of choice & market competition.Youth centers? their called ball parks for me, for you? you can finance them with your saved tax dollars if you want. Who wants Encyclopedias.

I’m thinking your views are pretty twisted without my help.

So you’re saying a town of 30,000 people would be able to build a 2 or 3 million dollar library with only part of the people paying?

And then what’s it a country club? If you didn’t pay you can’t use it. Same thing with rec centers I guess?

Is that really what you all believe?

It’s hard to take it seriously when the ideas don’t make any sense. Who wants encyclopedias? Really??

Ok so who’s building the ball park? And paying for maintenance, salaries, utilities, etc.

If things were your way, there’d be no internet. How could there be.

All I got out of the private school discussion is exactly what I expected. Religious indoctrination is fine because you approve of it, any other kind is no good. And if someone doesn’t believe, then they can leave.

LOL, first off, your talking about a library, a library is state funded. so something got lost in translation. all government is not bad. a constitutional federal government is bound in what it can do by the constitution for a reason. the framers wanted state sovereignty, the federal government was to Protect inalienable rights, deliver mail, provide a military, settle disputes between states, prosecute federal crime, deal with piracy. etc ………

the things that a local or state government couldn’t handle. it was decided we would have a constitutional republic meaning Your rights are bottom up, your rights start with you & you give away some of those rights to your local government so they can provide basic needs like police, fire, etc & lay taxes for them. in the rest of the world rights start with the government & end with the people. what we ended up with is a Big Bloated Federal Government that strips the states of their rights…

each state has it’s own constitution. so back to the question, under the way our government is set up the county or city would take a vote for the library, if passed the library would be built & taxes would be layed. same thing for health care, schools, playgrounds etc if the state was a socialist state then you get the works & pay high taxes, or get nothing & pay nothing. but we are so far from a constitutional government ……..
