Looks like the leaders of our government don't know what fiscally conservative is either, despite thier ideology. From Andrew Sullivan: Brian Riedl has some salient data out today. Money quote: "More broadly, the accusation that poor families are shouldering more of the tax burden while receiving less of the spending is empirically false. From 1979 through 2003, the total federal tax burden on the highest-earning quintile (one-fifth or 20 percent) of Americans — who earn 52 percent of all income — rose from 56 percent to 66 percent of all taxes. Their share of individual income taxes jumped from 65 percent to 85 percent. On the spending side, antipoverty spending has leaped from 9.1 percent of all federal spending in 1990 to a record 16.3 percent in 2004." Bush has been shoveling other people's money to the poor like the big government liberal he is. So where are the NON-CRATS? Who is an anti-crat?
