No one likes taxes, but there is no free lunch. As John Kerry will tell Americans, you can have either-or. Either your tax cuts or your services. Either balanced books or big-time debt. Take your pick. Just common sense. The real issue on taxes is that voters are easily swayed into voting for candidates who promise to lower taxes, that is GIVE them money. Whether it is fiscally conservative and responsible or not.

Yeah but you can demand all the goods you want. If nobody has enough capital to make the goods, you'll starve just like they do in the dang third world. Governments can either get in the way of folks like they do in the third world, or get out of the way and let business people create jobs to fill public demand. It is better that they do the latter as much as possible so that people can live free and healthier lives.

Many jobs are created by small business owners who borrow the money to start their business. These people are not rich but debtors willing to take a risk.
