One has to understand two prevailing phenomenon in the Senate (and to a great extent, in the House) when one see the bug-eyed, spitting, HATRED of tax cuts: 1) These people are incredibly stupid. That's in both parties. They are rivals of Patsy McKee himself in the economic cluelessness department. History, once again has shown us-just this WEEK, as it ALWAYS DOES-that cutting marginal tax rates and taxes on capital formation yields higher tax revenues. It happens every time-without exception. Yet these bovine-eyed Senators insist on "paying" for these cost-free refunds of the people's stolen property. 2) On the Dem side, you have many people who-rather than being stupid-are committed to the ravings of the mad man, Karl Marx, who spent his life and work in total hatred of anyone who achieved even a modest success. That makes these contemporary Senators insane as well. The answer, of course, is to abolish the "career" of elective office, and make these clowns go home and work for a living after they have screwed up the priviledge of serving. That will come about when we: a) Prevent occupants of our nation from voting when they are functionally illiterate. b) Make Social Security welfare queens forfeit the franchise when they go on the public dole.
