Throughout Emory’s trek from MO to CA, he recorded the terrain, its people, ruins, flora and fauna. His map opened the Southern Emigrant Road to travel. His published work introduced the Southwest to the American people, and established the need for the Gadsden Purchase.

I guess all the people complaining here about the small amount of taxes they pay here in Arizona will be in attedance.. if it’s free it for them. Since they love to point fingers but in actuality TAKE and USE more then they contribute.

What an asinine statement @Anonymous. It’s corporate America sponsoring this freebie, not taxes. Using your comparison, HAIL BANKS, HAIL CORPORATES. What an ass you are!
Define small?
The fact is it’s the people demanding entitlements who are the ones expecting the entire population to take care of them. So guess you are correct. Just a bit confused on who is paying and who is taking. You would LOVE socialism and that isn’t what those of us are seeking who complain when taxes are thrown to the wolves on wasted endeavors. EXAMPLE? Chamber of Commerce. If they took that money and spent it on the badly needed road improvements, that would be the start of a good example of worthwhile Product Development. What’s so difficult to get about that? Unless you’re one of those waiting around for government housing at the expense of those who actually work to make a living.
Get a life @Anonymous.
@anonymous
YOU are a participate in socialism I guess….
You contribute far less money wise to the Federal Gov. then you use.
YOU are operating on your own at a deficent. You relay on the surplus of other states like NY or California to make ends meet and keep AZ taxes artificially low.
Therefor you are a leech ataker and a user. Please stop using money from other states so as to keep AZ taxes low.
Take ing from the states with a surplus and giving to takers like YOU who operate at a deficent.
You should embrace socialism cause your a TAKER already . So stop pointing fingers YOU USER.
