The shutdown sure highlights places where the government should not be involved.  They are still open where it counts.

Notice "still open to collect taxes" just not to do the rest of their jobs

Yep.  Personally, I think that when the government is shut down for several days we, the taxpayers, should be able to take a hiatus from paying taxes on those days.  It should be sort of like how cable or telephone companies will pro-rate a customer's bill for time when service is out.  I think if that were the case, most working people would be like, "Hell, I hope they don't ever re-open!"

JAB, I vote. Hell, I hope they don't ever re-open if I can quit paying those pesky taxes. I would be rich if it weren't for taxes and insurance and food and well you get the picture. LOL
