What does any of that have to do with the article? Just wondering.
The ideas in the article concerning confiscatory wealth redistribution, robbing Peter to pay Paul, etc, made me realise again that the only crime in this country that you absolutely cannot put a leftist spin on in order to get the court of public opinion behind you, is anything to do with the IRS. That is the only branch of crime for which justice (if it indeed be justice) is sure and swift. They (the IRS) don’t care what public opinion is, if they say you owe, you owe, and you pay.
