Bars, Boats, and Big Bucks

We've got our share of bars in Cheboygan, although I think there were more of them when I first moved here than there are now.  We've also got a fancy historic opera house that was built in the late 19th Century.  It had fallen into disrepair by the time I moved here but was totally restored back in the 70s.  They don't do a lot of operas there, maybe one or two a year, but they also do other stuff like plays and music concerts.  We've only got one movie theater, but it has multiple screens.  There is a nice bowling alley about five miles out of town. At least I think it's still nice, I haven't been inside the place in decades.  We've got lots of boating activity too, I guess I forgot to mention that.  There is a nice public marina near the mouth of the river, and a fancy private one around the corner on Duncan Bay.  The hunting and fishing is not what it used to be, but it's still available, with lots of state land nearby and several public boat ramps on the river.

I've said this before, but I still don't know why we have to pay federal taxes at all.  The federal government literally creates money out of nothing and gives it to the banks, who loan it out to the people.  Why not cut out the middle man and distribute the money directly to the people?  Whenever it is determined that there's too much money in circulation, they could just distribute less for awhile until equilibrium is restored.
