Awesome, more compliance checks at night because the overtime is covered. Because it’s big gov’t dollars, we can rest easy knowing it will be largely wasted on upper management law enforcement personnel, useless training and probably lots and lots of rewriting statistics and press releases.

That’s it…I am not paying anymore income taxes!

If I am forced to financially support an organization that is hostile toward me and actively discriminates and violates my constitutional and human rights then I have the right to not contribute to that organizations support, maintenance, and growth as it is directly opposed to my well-being.

I will NOT pay them to abuse me.

Guys, don’t worry! Do your math! There are 52 states. Divide $15 million by 52? That’s $288k per state? Uh, how many counties per state? Cities? That is chump change!
