President Obama a few months ago signed a bill to increase taxes by $600 billion. The title of the bill is the American Taxpayer Relief Act. As for the fourth word of that title, if you’re Obama, apparently you spell “relief” as follows: T-A-X-I-N-C-R-E-A-S-E.
The president thereby achieved his goal of transferring more money away from the people who earned it with their labor over a lifetime and into the hands of people who earned it with their votes in November. As he relieved the former of the burden of their money, he thanked them: “I just want to thank the businessmen of this country for stepping up and paying even more than they already do. I will work with Congress to reduce spending because I realize that even if we take 100 percent of your earnings, it won’t cover our trillion-dollar deficit and wouldn’t be fair, either, but in the meantime you’ve helped save our bacon.”
Just kidding. He did take their money. But he didn’t thank them, and he didn’t even pretend that he wants to reduce spending. As for their businesses that generated their wealth, he famously declared, “You didn’t build that.”

Gasp, an article such as this came from Colorado’s “People’s Republic 1 - Aspen?”.
The next thing that’ll happen is that a similar article will come out of the paper of Colorado’s “People’s Republic 2 - Boulder”.
When that happens, the end of the world is surely at hand.
No they don't read their, they know it all....
Perhaps we need a truth in law labeling law.
