As well they should. If it's not evident there's a serious issue with what's going on after seeing the report, I'm not sure what is. Truly criminal.

This is the original report. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/investig...rm-hits-n25901

When poor people get government subsides they're called "welfare cheats". When rich people get them it's called "being smart".

I am also tired of having my taxes spent on beach re-nourishment every couple of years.

I agree regarding your first statement though would add to your second comment there are many questionable uses for tax money including infrastructure money spent on increasing sprawl versus upkeep of what we already have which is my bone of contention. We're a tourist state and very dependent on those dollars to keep sales taxes down and personal income tax at zero. Without our beaches being kept up, I'm not so sure we could maintain the status quo.

It really depends on which beaches get the loot.
Public or private? Government or business? Rich or poor? Crowded or deserted? Mine or yours?
