Bartlett makes the point here better than I could:

If you're sincerely concerned about the deficit's capacity to destroy the country, why on earth are you opposed to paying a bit more in taxes? Is saving the country not worth a few dollars more a year?

Thom Hartmann covered this topic (including David Cay Johnston's article) quite well on his radio program.

Three points:

- (1) David Brooks (Republican Party commentator): 'We Republicans are good for only two things: cutting our taxes and blaming Democrats.' (PBS Newshour - June 2006)

- (2) 'Collier's' Encyclopedia, c1950: Their entry regarding President Calvin Coolidge.

Collier's described that Coolidge implemented policies to 'greatly reduce taxes on the wealthiest' while extending 'massive public subsidies and aid to corporations without any restrictions or obligations'.

Collier's stated that there were short-term economic gains, but that by the time President Herbert Hoover took office and expanded Coolidge's policies of low / no taxes for the wealthiest and free public money to corporations, America's bubble was bursting and 'the Great Depression was beginning'.

(This should teach us how Republicans still practice the same gimmicks using different names (Reagan: 'Tinkle Down Theory').

I for one make too much money to recieve any of them, (though I only make $11,000 a year) 2) My education was not free, it cost me a great deal of money that I am still paying back!
