Being a bigot makes you stupid. Hee.

Thanks to H. S. Kim:

"Taxes are what you pay to be an American, to live in a civilized society that is democratic and offers opportunity, and where there's an infrastructure that has been paid for by previous taxpayers. This is a huge infrastructure. The highway system, the Internet, the TV system, the public education system, the power grid, the system for training scientists — vast amounts of infrastructure that we all use, which has to be maintained and paid for. Taxes are your dues — you pay your dues to be an American. In addition, the wealthiest Americans use that infrastructure more than anyone else, and they use parts of it that other people don't. The federal justice system, for example, is nine-tenths devoted to corporate law. The Securities and Exchange Commission and all the apparatus of the Commerce Department are mainly used by the wealthy. And we're all paying for it."

Articles about what the liberals are doing wrong. This is some interesting stuff, even if you don't agree with his opinions, his theories on how it work seem to be quite solid. Of course, I happen to agree with a lot of his conclusions.

Sunday, December 7, 2003 - Teatastic day! I don't promise much in the way of sides, but I'll try a few of the teeny sandwiches and maybe a tart. I'll have to see what, if anything, fits into my diet. Let me know if you're interested; I'll send out details via email (so as to include those silly people who don't check, breathlessly, for my everyday wisdom).
