Is it time for a Cimarron Hills tea party?

Isn't it interesting how the national political stage mirrors the goings-on of the Board at our homeowners' association?
Looking back a few years, I recall the State of Arizona having a budget surplus. A major question then for our State legislators was what to do with the money. It was easy to answer for me. That's OUR money. If you have over-taxed us, give it back. Of course, they didn't.
Other peoples' money. Easy to spend isn't it? I was greatly amused by the promotional material for the HOA party in October: "Brought to you by your homeowners' association". No, brought to you by you. That was your money. (A conversation for another day is whether it is the business of our HOA to hold parties. I personally don't think so. The HOA does not need to fund networking opportunities.)
The 2010 Congress ploughed ahead like the battleship Bismark spending (our) money on various projects despite vocal opposition. Our Board too, shows every intention of ploughing ahead with its ill-timed and excessive spending proposals, again in the face of substantial opposition.
Sixty-three members of the House of Representatives lost their jobs in the last election paying the price for their patrician arrogance. A similar fate needs to befall some of our Board members, I think.
