"Those who want their votes . . . ."Dr. Sowell's clarity cuts right through all the "stuff," doesn't it?
To: loveliberty2
Absolutely. I don’t know the number of lawyers on The Hill but between elected people and their staffs it’s a bunch.

What we really need is a law to limit the proportion of lawyers elected to congress to reflect their actual numbers in the general population. < / sarcasm >

And anyone who thinks that the government does not do EXACTLY the same thing is delusional!
Get out there and make some REAL political noise and see how long it is before the IRS comes down on you! Witness current events and the TEA party!

"All the extravagance and incompetence of our present Government is due, in the main, to lawyers, and, in part at least, to good ones. They are responsible for nine-tenths of the useless and vicious laws that now clutter the statute-books, and for all the evils that go with the vain attempt to enforce them. Every Federal judge is a lawyer. So are most Congressmen. Every invasion of the plain rights of the citizens has a lawyer behind it. If all lawyers were hanged tomorrow, and their bones sold to a mahjong factory, we'd be freer and safer, and our taxes would be reduced by almost a half." H.L. Mencken (1880-1956), "Breathing Space", The Baltimore Evening Sun, 1924
Mr. Mencken was EXACTLY right and nothing has changed!

Sadly, you’re right on. This IRS/Tea Party thing is criminal but the IRS will not be held accountable with the Obama/Holder conspiracy running things.

Yep, loser pays would put a screeching halt to most of the abuse but like you say, it won’t happen.

” loser pays would put a screeching halt “
You are aware, aren’t you, that “loser” in this context will be you and me and every other taxpayer??
Bureaucrats who do the deeds have no skin in the game...
