NY States 44 Million dollar farewell to Reagan
Just heard on the radio that it will cost the taxpayers of NY State 44 million dollars to shut down the state government on Friday to mourn Reagan. Gee wonder what its gonna cost us nationwide.

1. damn, us taxpayers are getting screwed!
I wonder how much weekends, the 40 hour work week, family medical leave etc etc are costing us? We should just force all employees to work 20 hours a day instead of wasting our money relaxing!

2. This is a ridiculous waste of money
what in the world has it got to do with labor standards?

People are getting the day off to mourn Reagan. I'd love a day of, of course, but not for this Bonzo, er, bozo.

4. What do the Imperials care about Filthy Little Nobodies like us?
As far as THEY'RE concerned, it's ALL their money anyway.

It's THEIR country, we just service the Imperial Family & their Minions.

Got news for ya', you Imperial Fucks, Free America ain't goin' out like that!

5. Yeah. We are.
All the other things you mentioned benefit Americans and American families....taxpayers, in fact.

But this? This is a Republican administration trying to make a state that was devastated by that crypto-fascist grateful to him for a holiday. This is the Republican party making us all pay for their propaganda.

Beggars and infomercials are the Reagan legacy.
