And, in a related story, a flock of pigs was seen hovering over Hell, filling up ice buckets (nice ones too; the kind that have leather and brass braids on the outside, and not those cheap Motel 6 types).
Greenspan's born-again view on tax hikes, like it or not, is the only way we're going to begin to get out of the mess that we're in. We want to preach self-reliance to the rest of the world. Fine. Let's lead by example. Let's end the holiday from fiscal history that we've been on for the past 30 years, and accept the fact that, as even George Will once said, real conservatism means paying your bills.
At the very least, let's have a war tax. War is driving the growth of the annual deficit and that national debt more than anything else. Are we so cheap that we can't pay for the people who are laying their lives on the line for us?
What kind of patriotism is that?
