You really like to make this into a partisan issue, when, it is not.The woman quoted in the article accusing Scottsdale of being un American, was the irony of all ironies.
What's un American, is wanting all of the perks of living here, but not wanting to pay for, or share any of it.
Here's the part of being an America Libertarians, and most Conservatives miss.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
If you hate this country to the point you don't want to pay taxes, and participate with the rest of society. Then you need to move beyond the borders of America, and create your own utopia.
There are mothers walking through the jungle, over mountains, and across the desert with their children on their backs to get here, that will sacrifice their lives to pay taxes, and participate with the rest of society.
I'll trade government hating Libertarians and Conservatives, for those people every day.
This is about global corporatism, and trade.
Corporate farms, in California, and Arizona, use as much as 80% of that water. And a lot of that product? Goes overseas.
What on Earth does that have to do with the left or the right?
