"Taxes: it's what pays for a high quality of life."

I'll have to agree with that statement since I live in a city with very high taxes and a very high quality of life.

Trouble is, Republicans want a high quality of life at the expense of other citizens. In other words, they like to hang on to their hard earned cash. They don't like to support 'freeloaders'.

Do you think they will ever understand that we are all in this together? If part of the population is suffering, the quality of life for everyone is effected. What good are your riches if you are surrounded by poverty and ignorance?

Miser is the root word of miserable.
