RE:"Scumbria, I remember a time when I believed higher taxes was necessary to balance the Federal budget, and that the philosophy of "less government" was just an excuse for greedy corporations to gain more power over the nation.
Those used to be cherished ideals of the Democratic Party. Whatever happened to them?"

The real truth is that higher taxes create bigger government. More money to administer and find programs with. The no. 1 rule of government is that once you create programs to spend the money it's very, very hard to cut back. So we accelerate down a black hole.
