If you don't drive or own a car then you don't pay taxes on the roadways. I know some federal money goes to the roadways but that's just our fucked up government at work.

Rail system? Built by private companies (such as Union Pacific). I'm opposed to government ran railways. If there is a real benefit to them then a private company would build them since people would be willing to pay for it if it is so vital to our lives.

As for growing our country to compete in the international marketplace being vital to our national security? I can't even comprehend how your dumbass could even come close to making a connection between the two.

As for my signature. I thought it was funny and personally I think it fits you better. You hate freedom because you fear getting the wrong juice. And you fear yourself because you can't understand personal responsibility.

You are just a selfish person who I'm sure Kohlberg would be proud of. It's all about you, you, you, you and you. You want the government to regulate juice labeling so you don't have to think, you want the government to regulate fertilizer companies because you might get the wrong seed, but you want to de-regulate the airport security because it can inconvenience you? You want the government to revolve around you. Which if that is the case then why don't you run for office and make everything right for everyone?

Are you saying the government had nothing to do with the railway?
