“But the positions you’re screaming to be cut like some deranged ill-informed vigilante are held by your neighbors, their friends and their families. “

You had me until this (above), the people that the governor wants to take the PFD and an income tax from are your neighbors and friends and their families. (note I didn’t call you a name) They are hard working people that need that money to support there families. The “government” has to be run like a business and when you only have X you have to cut Y. There are people all over the state losing their jobs because of this situation, state workers are no better than anyone else and shame on you for thinking you are.
