That's true. Social Security is the fastest growing government program.
: crime has skyrocketed....
Not true. Crime is down 27% since 1987. We have a crime rate today
comparable to that of...1974! Please check facts before writing.
: L.A. requires new commercial construction to devote a percentage
: of the money to ART(!) which reduces the money pool availible....
Portland Oregon has been doing this ("1% For Art" program) for 15 years
and Portland's economy is not only BOOMING, its city treasury has a $20
million SURPLUS! The art program is not wrecking LA.
: Illegal immigration is rising....
Why would legal immigrants provide any more in taxes? If anything they
use fewer tax-based services such as Social Security or any other
services where their citizenship would be questioned.
