State Sen. Tony Strickland never misses a chance to vilify government as an out-of-touch, evil entity that does nothing right and only causes problems.
If government is so bad, why does Strickland stay in it? Could it be his government paycheck? Or maybe it’s the government-paid benefits. Those benefits, especially healthcare, far exceed the basic ones he wants to deprive less-privileged — but certainly deserving — people.
No, Sen. Strickland, government is not the problem. It’s self-serving people like you, who either lack the will or intelligence to find solutions.
