At least, that’s what a left-wing blogger thinks.
So what did I do to earn this honor? I had the gall to say that tax loopholes should be removed, but that all the revenues should be used to finance lower tax rates.
Call me crazy, but I don’t think either our economy or our fiscal situation will be improved by giving more money to the folks in Washington. I guess that means I should be sent to an asylum.

Last I checked James Madsion, Gwashington, Tjefferson had no benefits, no health insurance, no retirement plans, made money with there own two hands. Since we funded SS, Medicare tnx LBJ our country has been on an inevitable downward spiral… If ur child spends his allowance to u give him/her more before the next wk of choirs. NO there jobs out there just like choirs some choose to do the tough hard labor others take advantage of the system. All Dan is simple saying in a blunt way is if u keep giving more & more of hard workers money to the Gov’t that doesnt now how to spend better than the individual earning for themselves then why should u raise more taxes and increase bad spending policies for whatever War, healthcare, SS, un-benefits…

Congratulations, Dave. You just set a modern record for strawmen and non sequiturs in a single blog comment. Well played!!
BTW, if you are going to publicly embarrass yourself like this, change your name.
i guess you prefer. unemployed with no benefits as an enormous drag on our economy, ditto for our health and health care rather then single payer system that can ersse a huge burden on corporations and. organizations such as schools and college.( presently in free fall as the rest of the world goes flying past) we save with better prices due to volume ( you know that our health care system ranks last among industrialized countries)
