   My guess is, if anyone wanted roads, the government wouldn't have to   
   pay for them.  You're cool with that, right?   
      
   Oh, right, and all the other infrastructure and services in the whole   
   vast, middle, economically unsustainable part of the country, you know,   
   all those states where nobody could live if all their roads, water,   
   police, firefighting, electricity, etc. weren't paid for by people in   
   New York and California?
