Ha - I see a good opportunity. Someone open a calibration laboratory in Cleveland. Apparently there's a need for it, but Micro Laboratories isn't going to expand.

Taxes pay for infrastructure, schools, transportation and all of the other things that we take for granted every day. When we pay taxes, we agree to pool our money together to purchase things that make our lives much easier, but that will not result in profits.

If you don't like taxes, there's plenty of swampland in Alabama. I'll pay taxes, even high taxes, if I can have the amenities of the city.

That's the attitude I like to see. Find the oppportunity, not the obstacles.
