I can't believe I'm just now remembering to post this, but I think Radar lives just down the street from me. Have a look at his newsprint debut:
I bet Gandhi would have had lunch.
Here's my argument about taxes:
Let it be known that I hate to pay them as much as the next guy. Let it also be known that I hate having to search for ways to keep as much of my earned money as possible. Let's assume for a minute that taxes were abolished due, in part, to Radar's (flawed) sense of federal law among other things. So now I, along with my neighbors, the people reading this and everyone else that bothers to pay, have more expendible money. What can I do with all this money? SPEND IT, OF COURSE!! What do my neighbors plan to do? Well, after they move as far away from me as possible and into their grand, brand new estate double-size double-wide, they go out and buy a Caddy fo' the Daddy. What do I do? The exact same thing. Now we're all spending the extra 15-28% "extra" that we have. (The rich don't need to spend their 34% -- they're rich!) How long does it take before inflation catches up to the surplus of cash in the economy? Just about the time you reach for the post-dated jug of milk, the pimple-faced stocker boy is changing the price stick to read 6$. Yippe! But that doesn't matter, because I have "extra" money that Uncle Sam was trying to spend on defense projects that created contracts, which in turn created jobs. That in turn killed the projects, so now Dave has a lot of free time on his hands to conjure up a new-fangled credit company that is just about necessary to pay for a trip to the movies (like it isn't already), because too many people went out and spent their "extra" money without realising that inflation has an impact on Fed rates and, therefore, interest rates. So now my neighbors are forced to move back into the place next to me and make their kids drive around in an older model Grampa-mobile. But that doesn't matter, because we don't have to pay taxes anymore!
