My point here is that very little money that is turned over to the Government of the US is ever handed back down to everyone equally.
I've heard of New Rome. Sounds like Jobstown NJ where if you get stopped for speeding a "backup cop" will show up to high five the officer writing the ticket and declare "you da man".
