A front page story on today’s Denver Post is about efforts to save prairie dogs from the wake of habitat destroying construction of a train to the airport. (See “Wanted: prairie dog homes.“) Someone wants to spend money on relocating prairie dogs? They are just big rats, people. They cover the ground like kudzu. But if people really want to save them, I suggest stopping the light rail project and refunding the taxes collected for the boondoggle.
The backers of this boondoggle said it would cost $4.7 billion. Too many people believed this fraud and said “OK” and approved a tax increase. Woops. Now RTD says the actual cost will be $7.0 billion. They want voters to approve that, too. Many will vote for it, thus sanctioning and approving their own robbery. It starts to get hard to feel sorry for those that willingly submit to fraud. Of course, the bad part is that those voting for RTD want those that have not fallen for the scam to contribute, too. And, due to the power of democracy, they can make it happen. |
