It is for them to show that their cult of the Providential State is in truth the new revelation they think it is, and that it is not, as a few still believe, the gigantic heresy of an apostate generation.  – Walter Lippmann

Teleprompter

Teleprompted Marxism

Is the teleprompter trying to tell us something?

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

President Obama's markets rise and fall speech contained one of my favorite loaded terms–"pay their fair share":

What we need to do now is combine those spending cuts with two additional steps: tax reform that will ask those who can afford it to pay their fair share and modest adjustments to health care programs like Medicare.

I really got a chuckle out of the little blurb about tax reform asking some group to pay their fair share.

Who defines "fair share"? When is enough enough?

The tax code asks nothing, it tells people and businesses what they must do (unless you, like asshat Senator Harry Reid, subscribe to the fascinating notion that paying income taxes is voluntary).

Surely paying the income tax is voluntary! You can always choose to be mauled and ravaged by the IRS...
