One Time When You REALLY Should Not Focus On The Messenger

Yes, I know it's Eliot Spitzer, formerly Governor of New York until he quite literally got caught with his pants down. And he earned his political fate royally. But he got as far as he did in the first place because, outside of sex and marriage, he's a smart man. And his current writing for Slate.com shows it.

Here, he says everything I've been saying about taxes for some time, and shows that the desirability of raising taxes is no longer up for debate. The real question is, messenger aside, will we listen?

As my mother is fond of saying, history teaches us, but we never learn. Sadly, Mom, there's lots of evidence in contemporary America to support you.
