You Want to talk about less Government and less Taxes? Make My Day.

Here's a deal for you. I'll give you $1000, even $20,000, and I'll make sure that there's less government to bother you. All you need to do is sign over all the added value in your home for the past ten years, all the interest that's built on your retirement savings, and by the way, plan on paying twice as much for gas and 50% more for bread and milk. And, as an extra, expect the price of buying things from Europe to start climbing dramatically, as the dollar plummets in value. Great deal, huh?


Listen to right wing pundits and politicians sorrowfully appraising the GOP prospects this year, you hear them say, again and again, that they believe that people still want less taxes and less government. I say it's time to take this idea on. We should attack the right wingers on the principles they pride the most and hold the tightest.

Yes, there are plenty of people who think they want less taxes and less government. But there are some great reasons and the timing is great to attack this formerly deadly duo head-on.

Right wingers sell the "less government" mantra by suggesting that people want less government because they want to make up their own minds. They don't want government telling them how to live their lives. They don't want government doing what private industry could be doing.

Right wingers push for lower taxes by selling the idea that people deserve to keep more of the money they earn.

The problem is, these policies have not worked. They are based on huge right wing policy lies, distortions and disasters that end up costing people more, hurting people more and intruding into their lives more.

Less taxes and less government go hand in hand as the two biggest issues the right wing embraces. And they should go hand in hand, because they have worked together to weaken America and dash the dreams of tens of millions of Americans.

Our economy is the Republican's grand experiment.
