Everyone wants more services, but no one wants to pay for those services.

actually i think the first part of your sentence is untrue--not everyone wants new services. in fact, the main tenet of the income redistribution system being introduced by Bush in the service of his rich scumbag masters is to REDUCE the amount of services provided by the government (obviously going back to Reagan) in return for lower taxes. while your average person may complain about poor public schools and such, the rich man is happy to pay 100K less in taxes every year. he can send his kid to private school, and he is actually happy to see the public school in disrepair, as that means less competition for Junior in getting into Hahvahd.

eventually the US will be like Brazil. this is the logical outcome of a regressive low-marginal-graduation taxation system, coupled with a highly disparate income distribution, which benefits rich scumbags.
