The longer this tax debate goes on, the less I understand it. And today, a comment by Howard Dean has me completely confused.
Here’s a quote from him I found on Real Clear Politics this morning. “The only problem is -- and this is initially going to seem like heresy from a progressive is -- the truth is everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich. And it's a good start. But we're not going to get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board, to go back to what Bill Clinton had and his taxes. And if we don't do that, the problem is the pressure is going to be on spending even more
Now, I don’t know about you, but I know lot’s of folks who’ve got financial issues, and just about all of them have the same solutions. If the bucks aren’t there, they curtail their spending until things improve. However, not one of them goes around picking other folks pockets to bail them out of their fiscal mistakes.
On the other hand, there are many who are doing just fine at the moment, either due to good money management, sound business practices, strong markets or whatever other reasons there are. And that’s how the financial game works in our nation.
So, as far as this lunatic Dean is concerned, he can give all his own assets to whoever he wants, but if the government doesn’t know how to money-manage, that’s their own damn fault. And if Dean wants some cash from me to help bail out those clowns in D.C., he better have an army with him when he shows up at my house. Because if he’s by himself, he’s going to leave broke and in an ambulance
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
