I know you're responding to Cappy, but I was the one who made the original post he was referencing.

I certainly wasn't meaning to come across the way you're portraying in your post. I went out of my way to ensure I was just merely explaining why many wealthier citizens will support excess tax spending on stadiums while opposing most other tax spending in their cities, without trying to characterize them as a-holes

It came from many posters expressing confusion as to why normally fiscally conservative CP posters that are all over the city for ANY spending, be it on libraries, bridges, social services for low income earners, all of a sudden do a 180 on handing hundreds of millions to rich business men to build a stadium that they own.
