    You have nothing to contribute but hatred for those you envy. Sorry that your life is not how you want it to be.

    For the record, I pay more individual taxes than the majority of American households do to our Federal government, and more than the vast majority of households to my state so you are completely wrong about that “parasite” garbage.

      Suburban and rural development tax base does not support the infrastructure they require to live a modern life.

      I am happy that you make good income, good for you but your “income taxes” don’t go to fund infrastructure, at least not directly.

      Consider educating yourself on the topic.

        Yeah just make up whatever makes you feel better about being trapped in the prison of city life. You make a lot of assumptions about things that you don’t have the ability to quantify.

        The facts you’re ignoring are that rural areas support the agriculture and industry necessary to sustain city life, and cities could not exist without them, aside from some hellish Soylent Green type of artificial subsistence.

          Rural areas support agriculture? How? By taking up space that could be use for farmland? Or do rural people somehow buy more from farmers than city people?
