Tax cuts are one of the main reasons why we are in such dire financial straits. The same people who are the biggest advocates of tax cuts are the same ones who complain the most about the national debt. I guess they forgot that we saw the largest spikes in the national debt occur during Republican Administrations.
America needs to shut the fuck up about tax cuts. If you want the country to be fiscally solvent, we will have to cut government spending AND raise taxes. Any reputable estimate of how to solve our national debt problem will tell you the same thing. A person who is truly fiscally conservative is not afraid to raise taxes.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
