In Charlotte yesterday, hundreds of people, many at the request of their uptown employers, cheered and supported spending less money on police and law enforcement, supported unlimited higher taxes, and celebrated potentially spending even more taxpayer money to directly benefit private business.

At issue here is giving over $100 million in taxpayer funds to a private business so that the private business may profit. The rally was held "uptown," where many businesses who also live off the taxpayer dole gave employees time off to show up and appear to celebrate and support this utterly irresponsible and wasteful spending.

In this case, it was support for SPENDING for the "Nascar Hall of Fame." As the left normally does, they confused support for Nascar with support for wasteful spending and higher taxes -- so they managed to convince a lot of people to support the Hall of Fame -- without realizing they were also supporting higher taxes to pay for the damn thing.

Once again, the left shows their desire to buy toys without having to actually work for them -- instead they take money from working people to build their own playgrounds. It's wrong, plain and simple. Government does not exist to buy things for private businesses, and it's wrong any time government gives money to a private business.

If this Hall of Fame is such a wonderful idea, and such a huge money-maker, why won't business build it for themselves and make money? Because it's NOT a money-maker, and government has become much to willing to just give away tax dollars to anyone who asks.

This is today's Democrat Party values: steal from the poor and give to the rich.
