Snow Removal: Getting Your Money’s Worth
Dec 22nd, 2009 by thatsElbert
The recent east coast snow storm brought out a need for some government services, mostly the removal of snow and ice from our roads. Apparently someone complained about snow removal. On Twitter user delawareliberal posted this:
Why is it that Teabaggers are the first to complain about the lack of gov’t services, i.e. snow plowing.(link)
To which I replied:
If they complain it’s probably because they pay good money (taxes) for those services. Duh.(link)
In the free market, a price is paid for a service. If I pay a high price for that service then I expect an high level of service. Most of us Tea Party supporters feel we pay a lot of money into our government but do not receive services equal to the price. We are more than justified to complain.
I didn’t get a reply. When the left runs out of defense for their arguments, the left resorts to name-calling. Apparently delawareliberal ran out before they started.
Even the most basic of economic principles seems to be beyond their comprehension ! Absolutely frightening.
It is sad when the snow removal and plowing in my development is superior to the state roadds leading into it. Three days post storm, my street is clear, yet main roads are snow and ice covered. If DelDOT were a private contractor, they would have been fired by now.
Tom, it makes one wonder if Delaware would be better off contracting out all of the snow removal services.
Being a liberal means you have no brain or ability to reason.
Back in September Founders Values hosted a debate on health care and the folks at delaware liberal were offered three seats on the panel to debate and they refused. Cowards.
I no longer visit their site, it is a waste of time.
