You are not a child ; and it is not the place of the government or a voting 
bloc or interest group to 'discipline' you.  If my city desires public 
transportation then the people of my city should pay for that transport not 
'you' living in rural Georgia.  What right do I or my representatives have to 
'discipline' (or penalize) you.  None.
