Why does Kansas court specific high-profile national corporations and yet at the same time tax and regulate the local families and businesses of Kansans into oblivion?

Short answer:
Kansas Government takes Kansans for granted.

Is There Such a Thing as Injustice?

Does a person have rights that he/she is entitled to or does he/she have (or lack) privileges that might be granted to him/her?

These are basically the same question which indirectly asks another question: What is the source of a person's "rights," where a "right" in this question merely means "something that the person feels he should be able to do without restriction."

I started a movie review a while back on It's a Wonderful Life, which contains a powerful message of heroic sacrifice of personal ambitions to serve others.

It's a Wonderful Life

The heroic sacrifice of a few can enable good people to prosper.

This classic is about not discounting the significant long-term ramifications of seemingly insignificant actions.

It is also a story about a group of people that, without most of them realizing how important it would be, sacrificed their lives and fortunes for something that had a profound, beneficial, and largely imperceptible effect on the people around them and on the town as a whole.

But, if only some people would start doing the "right" things: pay attention to what their officials are doing, care about the problems, and stand up to fill the obvious gaps in leadership, each one taking the closest gap at hand and sticking with it until momentum develops and the problems get turned around.

The persistence of one or two at each local meeting can be the nucleus of energy needed to spark off grassroots activism.

On July 29, 2005, President Bush signed a bill which permits and promotes the charging of tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels. Before the passage of the bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, or “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users”, it was generally illegal to charge tolls on roads built with Federal funds. What’s more, the tolls collected will be automatic, requiring universally compatible toll transponder tags on every vehicle.

SAFETEA-LU makes possible a variety of programs, all aimed at forcing Americans to pay to travel.
