Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
"Wow," you're thinking. "But did Trump also respond to this allegation in a shady and kind of revealing way?"
Yes:
"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"
"I don't remember," I said.
"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")
Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
Your message was better stated in the original script:

But (there's always a "but") in larger municipalities, the jurisdiction may be 30 miles away and an environment so far removed from where the police person works that they may as well be living in Mayberry while patroling Gotham.

You may have missed the "900 sq ft condo plus hoa fees" part. It's not just a $200K mortgage on (probably) a 1-bedroom apartment, but there are HOA fees (sort of like "rent") on top of that, I'll guess around $1K/month or so here. So it would be Mortgage+$1K/month. Plus utilities. Plus additional $200 or so per month for a parking space if it's not close to public transportation.
I've never received a single dollar from the government. I just pay, pay, pay my taxes. Nothing ever changes. Nothing ever gets better.
You may have received protection from (or deterrence of - which you likely didn't notice) crime by a publicly funded police force. Perhaps assistance, maybe even life-saving assistance, from the fire department or EMS. Even if you or your children did not attend public schools, you benefited from the services of many who did. Then of course there's the armed forces protecting your country. Roads and highways that you may have traveled upon.
But I digress. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I'm tempted to reply with "citation needed" but given that your post is entirely opinion rather than objective fact, I'll forego that exercise.
However your closing statement:
Instead of punishing people who create wealth through high taxes, they should be allowed to reward themselves. This might be some free time, a nice car, or a freaking golden iPhone with the picture of Donald Trump. If instead they have to pay 500,000 in taxes to give it to people who don't produce anything, they might think that it is a good idea to move to a country where they are allowed to profit from their work.
is egregiously wrong. You have taken down the pictures of children without an adequate economic environment in which to grow up and become free individuals helping to further the prosperity of all in a just society; of the old who can no longer properly even shelter themselves because they are being priced out and kicked out of their lifelong homes; and the working classes who toil in a futile effort to sustain themselves and their families and thus must receive assistance in the form of food stamps and public medical subsidies despite operating the tools of production for 40 or 60 or 80 hours per week. And in place of those you have erected a statue of the wealthy elite, "punished" by high taxes, without free time, without a nice car, and - sadly - without a gold-encrusted iPhone. If we don't stop "punishing" these creators of wealth then they will leave our country and build their wealth elsewhere (as an aside, where do you think the iPhones are being built if not "elsewhere"?).
What, you might ask, is possibly here that would keep a wealthy elite person from leaving?
Given that the timeline of your complaints go back several decades, let me ask you - why have they not already left?
I think that the answer to that question is more complex than a simple count of how many gold-encrusted iPhones one can shove into one's pockets.
But with potentially ever-changing "original" statements, quote can just as easily be whatever you want it to be at the moment.
How is the quoted commenter supposed to refute a fake quote? Take a poll of everybody who happened to have read his "freshly published e-ink" prior to publication of the fake quote?
Or like our PEOTUS, simply deny that which is universally available on video and have his former campaign manager spin it for him?
The book emphasizes that Russia must spread Anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."
In the United States:
Russia should use its special forces within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics."[1]
Recent claims by RNC that a spam filter prevented them being hacked in the same way as the DNC do not prove that they were not targeted and successfully infiltrated, only that the single exploit mentioned apparently failed in that case.
It's pretty clear to all concerned at this point that Russia's intent was to smear Clinton and pump Trump.
I've read through comment sections on forums that did allow editing after the fact and there is the potential for dishonesty there (e.g., "Disqus").

I care that Russian intelligence compromised one of the two major US political parties to try to tip the election in favor of the other party's candidate. (In fact reportedly both were compromised but only the fruits of the DNC exploit were used for the purpose of tipping the election; the RNC data was withheld.)
I care both as a US citizen and as a voter.
I care somewhat less that Wikileaks was the mechanism by which the stolen data was leaked, but they now appear to be affiliated with Russia so their complicity is understandable.
Not going to call Obama out on that one? Yeah, Russia is nice enough to downplay this for the time being, but it's a funny coincidence that two different Russian diplomats have suddenly died just days after Obama promised retaliation for allegedly being behind the exposure of DNC corruption.
There may be lead also in the soldered connections, as with most e-waste.
FTFY. With lead free solders,RoHS regulations, and the general movement to minimize hazardous materials, you can't say automatically that there's lead in the solder joints with modern electronics.
Given that we are discussing CRTs here, I was referring to "most e-waste of a similar era", but sure, with current use of 99+% tin solder we are looking at a different envrionmental contaminant instead of at lead.
Figure 2 shows where the lead is in the various parts of a typical color CRT used in a TV or computer monitor. The lead in the funnel and face plate glass is physically and chemically bound up in the glass matrix and does not leach very readily. The lead in the frit which joins or welds the face plate glass to the funnel glass is in the form of a lead oxide paste. The lead in the frit does leach quite readily when subjected to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test used to determine whether a discarded material is a hazardous waste or not. Research done at the University of Florida in 1999 and sponsored by the DEP showed that CRTs usually test to be a hazardous waste when subjected to the TCLP test.
There is of course lead also in the soldered connections, as with most e-waste.

As it has done for decades, our loved one's body is undergoing changes. The reasons for these changes are a matter of discussion.
Whatever the causes, our loved one remained "DNR" to the end.
We will unfortunately be required by law to soon inter the remains thus ending the debate.

Something that conservatives have been long pushing for in the US as well.

Don't be silly. The newlyweds are simply combining their assets, so each will have access to more than they did when they were single.
