Not sure what it is about Keynes or Krugman that totally fogs your ability to reason..

We are among the lowest taxed countries in the world, but for some it's still too much

Perhaps you will get the country you are willing to pay for, or better yet the one you can leave your kids

..meantime, where the rubber meets the road, some of us are willing to pay for pavement

...as opposed to Tea Party heaven
