The anti-rail hitmen are still out there
These crabby anti-rail, anti-transit, anti-walking Baby Boomer Republicans are going to be left in their auto-dependent isolated McMansions in their old age to freeze and eat cat food by their transit-oriented kids, grandkids and overall energy costs in 20 years. Kids today are unempathetic, sick of driving, hate that the Baby Boomers are hogging all the jobs and will stick it to the road fascists any way they can. They don't know it, but they have already turned their Golden Years into a hellride.

Celebrity Crushes!
I'm going to ruin the whole thing buy saying this, but I only like regular chicks. Sure, a lot of these famous women are hot, but the whole fame thing is a turnoff to me. It would annoy the hell out of me the second I stepped out of the bedroom. Talk about baggage.

What makes this tax unusual is that there are maybe 10 jobs in the whole township outside of the JEDD besides farms and Slate Run Metro Park. Madison Township outside the JEDD has virtually no businesses except for the self-employed.
