This Simon guy tends to grow on you. This was an off-the-cuff radio interview. Clearly he has the Reaganesque instincts that would make us all proud to have him as governor.

YOU TELL 'EM PING

This ain't no repeat of the Schundler campaign, which had its problems. When does this guy go on Howard Stern?

[Gophack]

He hit the nail on the head: Davis and liberal Democrats want to have the final say over whether someone has been good or bad, paid their fair share or not, deserves praise or retribution.

Bill Simon is so right on ... go get 'em Super Simon!

Davis told reporters: "Part of running for governor is making available your tax return so people can see you're paying your fair share."

Gag me. Show me the law that anyone has to make public their tax returns. And who decides what's your fair share?

I'll get a year's salary that Bill Simon paid a hell of a lot more in federal and state taxes than Gray Davis did ... and I would probably take the bet that Bill Simon will pay more in federal and state taxes for 2001 than Gray Davis has paid in his entire lifetime!!!!!!!!!

To quote Alan Keyes, how much I make, where I make it, and when I make it should be no body's business but mine. That includes what I choose to spend my income on. It should be a private matter just like what I do in my bedroom with the person I love. Our financial affairs should be none of the government's business any more than who, where and when we choose to have sex with should be its business. Kudos to Bill Simon for telling Gray Davis I don't care to let the government know what shouldn't concern it in the first place.

Oh, I do like that! Way to be on the offensive! I do like that!

Lets define fair share as far as federal taxes go.

The federal budget is $2.2 Trillion. There are 270 million people in America. That equals $8,148 per person. So, each persons fair share is $8,148.

If Simon paid more than that, he has paid more than his fair share.

hehe...I like this Simon guy.

[B. A. Conservative]

Sounds like Whitehouse material to me. Nothing like competition to get the current powers that be to move in the direction of winning techniques. It is mind boggling that Davis holds public office anywhere outside of the old Soviet Union. Maybe Kalifornians will want to see the light, rather than return to the dark ages under gray-out.

As reported here, in connection with this fiasco, Simon says he can't recall whether he paid any California state taxes last year. If you believe that, raise your hand. The man is going down. He is totally inept, and clearly not a straight shooter. He is a trimmer. Punish the man, and then punish him some more.
