An Open Letter to the House Republican Caucus.

Dear House Republicans,

You don't get to shut down the government and then say you want to reopen only the parts you like. You see, we live in a democracy. That means that in order to get the benefits of government that you want, you have to accept the portions you don't.

I, for example, am done with school and don't have kids, but that doesn't mean I get to stop paying for public schools. I have to accept public schools as part of the same society that gives me fire protection, laws, and roads, which I do want.

I know that being a grown up is hard, and it's easier to just pitch a tent in mom's backyard and complain that the other kids don't want to play with you. But the reason those kids don't want to play with you is that, whenever they win a game, you take your ball and go home.

Cope!

Sincerely,

Cassady Toles, JD
