I like this whole "Its our money, we can do with it what we want" mentality you have going.
I mean, you need some new wheels, just hop right on down to the MDC office and pick you out one of them fancy trucks the drive around in. Heck, like you keep harping, it's not theirs, it's yours! Let me know how that works out for you.
Better yet, go down to the cop shop and pick up one of those! Boy we could have a ton of fun in a fast cop car! It doesn't belong to them, that was your money!
Pick me up a fire truck while you're at it! I've always wanted one!
Now again how much did you contribute to building and repairing all of those roads you drive on?
