Dean on taxes
Recent interview with Howard Dean. Some of his quotes, and my thoughts:
"The truth is, everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich."
So there we have it. Finally, a liberal who speaks liberals' collective thoughts out loud and honestly. They want more taxes on everyone. One problem: this fiscal cliff did not come about because we failed to tax enough. IT'S THE SPENDING, STUPID!
"We are not going to get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board... if we don't do that, then pressure is going to be on spending even more."
And here is the truth about liberal though processes again - they worry most about cuts in spending. They do not want cuts in spending. They KNOW the problem is brought about by the spending. They do not think it is a problem, as they wish for us all to sacrifice our collective liberty for the sake of progressivism.
Understand though, for all intents and purposes - progressivism = leftism = communism = socialism.
None of these is good for us. None will lead to a better society. None of these things will bring the "benefits" that liberals tout.
"I think going off the 'cliff' is a better solution for the nation's fiscal ails..."
I agree, Mr. Dean. I agree. Government is not the answer, and nothing would illustrate that better than seeing our government grind to a halt... and watch as life goes on.
