Dirt poor?

Er, might I ask what change you are referring to? (I always like to know the reason when someone walks up and wants everyone to take it up the poop shoot one more time)

I was of course speaking metaphorically, but say for instance that we all quit paying taxes.

When that source of funding dried up, and it would quickly dry up, we'd lose a bunch of the money going to education (as only one example). What would happen until something took up the slack?

We'd take it up the poop shoot as one of the sevices that, while they do suck, fills a necessary role is gone and then we end up with a generation of semi to non-literate, unskilled children to take up our banner into the next millenium.

Edit: grammatical issue corrected
