The newspaper of record for Socialists, the New York Slimes, is continuing its campaign against lower taxes by portraying the poor downtrodden as defenseless victims of the mean heartless evil rich people who would rather keep their own money instead of sending it to DC where it will save lives. It’s always been interesting in this propaganda that the left can so easily identify each tax dollar and connect it to its alternative use. What a coincidence that every dollar that an evil rich person doesn’t have to send to DC is the exact same dollar that would have prevented some little child from starving to death. It’s never a dollar that would have gone for some congressional junket around the world or another pay raise for the rulers in DC. It’s always something that results in death for the innocent little poor people.

Dizzying Dive to Red Ink Poses Stark Choices for Washington – With its typical journalistic credibility, the NY Slimes has the nerve to refer to the projected budget surpluses as if they were really attainable. Those predictions by the Clinton gang were 100% bogus and were based on the unchallenged underlying assumption that the stock market would rise in value at over 20% per year for all time. To blame the fact that such moronic pie in the sky predictions didn’t come true on Bush is nothing short of insane.

Tax wealthy to pay for Iraq war – Standard soak the evil rich socialist bilge from the Marxist dwarf who served as Clinton’s Labor Secretary.

Coffee Addicts in Froth Over Espresso Tax

They’re still trying for that 10 cents a cup in Seattle “for the children.” A reminder why this case is important to watch. If it passes, the floodgates will open all over the country for every possible little add-on fee on every possible product and service to benefit every possible “good cause.”

It may not seem like much money, but add ten cents to everything you pay for each and every day, and you are talking about real money for most people.
