The funniest part of the whole DUnderhead kindergarten-level "debate" (if that's actually the right word for it, I mean) is their mulish, muttonheaded insistence that -- even though they
admit Dean would attempt to extort vastly greater amounts of money from the electorate, in the form of higher taxes than they are paying right this very second -- doing so, somehow, "WOULDN'T BE A TAX
INCREASE, GOSH DARN IT!"
Second place goes to their oft-repeated (but never actually substantiated, one cannot help but notice) Krugman Fantasy Camp wish/dream to the effect that "polls indicate people wouldn't mind having their taxes raised, by a 65%-to-25% margin." (... and, no: I'm NOT making any of this up. Believe it or not.)
It's going to be such a rich, lovely, unalloyed pleasure: handing these arrogant, self-aggrandizing addlepates their collective @sses, next November. :)
Yeah, I saw a post TODAY over at DUmmies that went something like this: The level of taxes under clinton was just great, everything was just humming along." As if clinton had discovered the exactly right amount of taxes to collect in order to make the economy run.
It is going to be fun watching them try and twist this one. Even clinton wasn't that dumb, to try and run on taxing the middle class more.
