Bravo to Jerry Hamel for expressing American citizens’
concerns/anger regarding runaway government spending, corruption and expansion.
He described Fort Smith government in particular.As the city’s citizens are experiencing their
jobs being outsourced, insourced, replaced by illegal aliens, retail stores,
restaurants closing, manufacturers down-sizing, shuttering or moving out of town/country,
the government gurus illogically, callously, unconstitutionally pursue projects
that are not the proper function of government and neglect the ones that are. (e.g.
sewers, streets, law enforcement)
Hamel names the proposed “prepared food” tax (while
restaurants are closing) and increased numbers lining up at the Food Bank,
unable to afford groceries much less eat out. Meanwhile utopian city plans (no citizen vote)
professional baseball team stadium, aquatic center, annexing economic loser Ben
Geren Park, building downtown “attractions”, all of which benefit only
government employees and the usual contractors who construct such projects. Consider
also the scantily used, bloated transit system economic fiasco.
Do these “leaders” live in a vacuum? Don’t they eat at
struggling restaurants, drive over awful, substandard streets, past empty
buildings everywhere; take notice of and action about illegal aliens and their
destruction of neighborhoods, their use/abuse of infrastructure, schools,
healthcare, welfare, criminal gangs running the streets, identity theft, and
other crimes?
Why are illegals entitled to so much more than legal
taxpaying citizens who foot the bills?Free healthcare, freedom from enforcement of existing laws (8 USC)
against harboring, aiding, abetting, or hiring illegals, while citizens better “click
it or ticket” and pay the exorbitant unfair taxes laid upon them or else!
All citizens need to be loudly vocal or these injustices
will not only continue but continue to grow. Vote out all incumbents who
promote additional burdens and freedom-killing projects advanced by socialist U.N./federal
globalist local-level programs, such as “Quality of Place”, i.e. anything called
“sustainable”.
