I don't accuse you of being against FF, police, etc.
My only point is that a $.15 cent tax is not going to steal anyone's Christmas, as H_Hob was trying to imply. I'm not debating the rightness or the wrongness of such a tax, how it would be implemented, what it would pay for, etc. I leave that to the those that are affected (or not), such as Christmas tree growers.
As far as how my Pentagon experience affected my view, I'm not about to discuss it with anyone who never served there. When I worked in the actual building, I was in the Army staff, so it changed my view of the Army and it's leadership. I left there in 1995, to go to an OSD agency -- in fact, two different ones. And that's what formed my opinions about what likely does or doesn't happen in DC. Working in OSD, you really get an appreciation of the politics, the Hill, the leadership, political appointees, etc, as well as how some issues will be played.
But, like being in the Military, it is unique to each person, given the time frame they worked there, where they worked, and who they dealt with, and the issues of the day.
