5. It boggles the mind doesn't it?

While I'm not old wealth, I'm living a firm middle class lifestyle by myself. Sure I pay higher taxes as a single person, but my life is very comfortable.

And we get a lot for our taxes. State funding subsidizes items all over the place like LED light bulbs. I can buy a 60 watt equivalent for $3. We get good highways like route 2 and finding for the road repairs needed every Spring. Local taxes pay for a kick ass winter response. Most days I wake up and the town has already cleared passable roads after a storm.

Why people complain about the poor in the cities I never understand.
