Eastsiders don't pay for jackschit. Ever. All their bridges, roads, and highways, and infrastructure is paid for by Puget Sound Residents or The Federal Government.. The Seattle/Tacoma/Everett economic engine is what drives this entire state, and hearing dumbfvck hayseeds from Adams County complain about having to pay for this that or the other thing for some 'city slicker libruls' in Seattle is a complete crock of schit.

If it wasn't for tax dollars pouring in from the federal government and revenue from Puget Sound commerce, Eastern WA would still be using kerosene for light, horses to get around, and wooden planks for bridges, like they were before FDR's New deal formed the BPA and brought the 1880's to 1930's Eastern WA with all those evil, icky tax dollars Eastsiders complain about so much.

If Eastern WA wants to become it's own state so fuggin bad, I say let 'em, but first we take back all the stuff we bought for them. We dynamite the dams and bridges, tear up the highways, knock down the hospitals, schools, and universities, fill in the irrigation canals, and finally spool up the miles of powerlines and then we'll see how fast their tune on taxes changes while they sit in that arid scabland and try to figure out how to bang two rocks together.

Maybe we should blow the passes too, so they don't load up their pick ups a la Grapes of Wrath and come over here to the westside and fvck up our school levies with their teabaggery.
