Kansas City Elite Support Downtown Stadium Extortion Plan Against Taxpayers

Here's one of many reasons this blog is going the way of the dodo . . . 

We can imagine a future wherein BILLIONAIRES don't shamelessly demand money from a broke-ass tax base.

Think about it for just a sec . . .

"So the perspective I want to give everybody is, 'Take a breath. We've got a lot of work to do,' and we're going to do our very best to do the best for all of us. That's how I put it."
