If the left is so ... hell-bent to pay more in taxes, what precisely is stopping them from doing so?
They do not need a higher tax rate to pay higher taxes: I assure them it is not illegal to overpay taxes, to send the government far more than it demands. They will take the check, and no liberals will be imprisoned for doing so.
Chicken-tax-hikers, perhaps?
Perhaps.
I think the most likely explanation is that when liberals want to raise taxes to pay for things like prescription drug and social security programs for everyone including millionaire retirees who don’t need them, they’re either foolish enough to think that money comes from some imaginary government pot or they believe people other than themselves should be taxed for it.
You know, like “the rich.” And Wal-Mart.
