Inode, > But does it make any sense at all that a people can tax itself into prosperity? Where is the logic in that?

The "logic" is the notion that government can spend your money better than you.

Think about how many jobs government can "create" if they just raised taxes on us.

Think about the government's magical ability to overcome the boom and bust cycle.

Think about Clinton and how he was able to create the prosperity of the 90's.

To liberals, the "invisible hand" represents government foresight.

We have a segment of the population amassing more and more of the country's wealth paying less and less taxes. Where is the logic in that?
