Gov Joe will seize your property for the sake of the children

archivemanchinseize: "By Gary Abernathy Monday December 19 2005 6:55 p.m. Lora and I were in Charleston on Sunday to attend the commencement ceremonies of West Virginia State University. Lora's sister was receiving a degree, plus we were doing the Christmas gift exchange thing with her family later in the day. We were running a little late, and as we entered the Charleston Civic Center, I thought I heard a familiar voice wafting through the loudspeakers. 'That sounds like Governor Joe!' I exclaimed. What an added treat. I had no idea the Governor was the featured speaker, but I was very excited. We found a couple of seats and settled in for a Joe Manchin sermon. What a shame that we missed half of it, because if you need your spirits lifted, and if you ever start to think that West Virginia may not necessarily be the best place to live, work, and raise a family, well, you need a dose of Governor Joe. The Governor, frankly, said all the right things. He talked about how proud the graduates should be to live and work in West Virginia. He said West Virginia was the best place in the world to live and work and raise a family. And he said that education was so important, that your property might be seized to support it. That's right. The Governor was explaining about taxes. He said that seventy cents of every tax dollar went to support education in West Virginia. And he said, 'In fact, if you don't pay your taxes, we'll seize your property. That's how serious we are about education.' I just love this Governor, don't you? Read more on title link.
