    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Be careful what you wish for. Urban America subsidizes rural America.

    Of course it does. It's a reciprocal relationship that I don't take for granted.

    ...but the fact remains, urban centres do subsidize rural ones.

    I'm not against rural people. I was simply responding to someone.
