Our own personal choices don't just extend to our choice of trash hauler. It has to do with our basic constitutional right to private property. There is too much intrusion by government at all levels in our lives. Government tells me that I must pay taxes (private property dollars) on my pension in order to pay higher public employee union member pension and benefits which aren't negotiated, they're granted by the government. Government tells me that I can't fill a hole on my private property unless I get permission from some punk at DEQ and pay a fee of $500.00 just to ask permission. It goes on. On a personal level, I've decided that "asking mother may I" isn't going to happen anymore.
