The nausea is just beginning,
<<Enough. I'm sick to my stomach now.>>
The worst thing about taxes isn't their magnitude, which is
quite high, it's the reduction of freedom. It's enough we have
to give up 30-50% of our income to all forms government, why
do politicians have to try and influence our behavior with
what little they don't take from us. Why not just honestly
impoverish us and leave us alone? Because politicians are arrogant
enough to believe they have the moral authority to say how people
ought to live. So you get a morgage deduction, but if you live
in an apartment and plow that money into a business, tough luck.
I hear so much liberals talking about targeted tax cuts (payed for
by raising general tax levels), it makes me sick.
Want to pay less in taxes? have children, but don't get maried,
send them to elite colleges, whether they belong there or not,
locate your business in an economically disadvantaged area (that
must be p.c. for blighted), and a myriad other things I'm sure
I can find out by paying a tax advisor too much money.
Why? Why? Why did the Clinton/Gore tax response resonate so well
with the public. Dole argued for an across the board rate cut, no
behavior meddling, no special interest applications, just a tax cut.
Clinton responded with his College boondoggle. Gore qualified
their position in the debate by labelling a general tax cut
_RISKY_, and it worked.
I don't know about the liberals, but I'll take a risk on freedom
any day
