Well Duuuuuugh!.. (persona: arrogant glancing talk to the hand, hands on hips “look” of teenaged girl)
OUTSTANDING article by John Hayward! Thanks very much for posting, Sen Jack S. Fogbound.
Raise an army.
Other than that, though, I agree.
This point from the article fits with my tagline:
“Except in cases of the most dire emergency, I don’t accept the moral authority of today’s politicians to place unbearable obligations on the taxpayers of the future. Taxation without representation is wrong. Who represents the children of tomorrow? Were their voices heard, when they were assigned to pay off fourteen trillion dollars in debt? It’s one thing to engage in emergency deficit spending when wars or natural disasters threaten the very survival of the Republic. Using the same techniques to encourage dependency on government, or fund the weird obsessions of bureaucrats, is an outrage.”
