- I'll be glad to discuss your "fair share" when you do your research
- sufficiently so that you can talk with some intelligence as to where
- highway tax money comes and goes.

- Yeah, and when I worked under contract to Martin-Marietta Energy Systems
- in Oak Ridge, I technically worked for a .com but I'm sure you'd
- agree that I really worked for DOE.
-
- Do you use the same degree of intentioanlly deceptive reasoning when you
- advocate your brave new gas taxes? I suspect so.

-
- You're danm right I'm against your tax and spend bureauracy. You and
- anyone else who works for the government are part of the problem.
- I'll repeat again, if you ever chop that .gov, perhaps cloaked under
- a .com, off your address, you'd have a bit of a clue. You were correct
- when you noted I used to work with the government. That was at the end
- of the era where government service was still somewhat respectable.
- I finally realized that my sucking off the public tit was against
- everything I stood for and when that happened, I quit. I know the system
- and I could make a lot of money on the public dole if that's what my
- ethics let me do. Sucking off the public tit is one thing; breaking vacuum
- to squeal for more is quite another. Your inept attempt to advocate
- the taking of more tax dollars, dollars which would make your and every
- other government employee or contractor's job more secure, just flat
- didn't fly.
