Liberal Insanity and Taxes
Authored by JOHN W LILLPOP
To any liberal worth his or her weight in Impeach Bush! bumper stickers, nothing is more dangerous than a tax cut involving the return of money to those who actually paid taxes.
Mind you, leftists see nothing morally or economically wrong with passing out tax refunds to illegal immigrants, the homeless, incarcerated felons or anyone who has paid no taxes to begin with.
Unless, of course, a non-payer happens to be a Republican who earned "obscene" profits, and who, for whatever reason, did not pay all taxes owed.
In these rare instances, most liberals will vacate their opposition to the death penalty and will push for swift execution.
After all, dead Republicans with high-value tax liens can help bail out inept Democrat office holders and their inevitable budget woes.
Given the liberal mindset on taxes, it should come as no great surprise that recent good news on tax revenues was greeted with outright skepticism by the Left.
The good news was this: As a result of the Bush tax cuts, federal tax revenues have actually increased , thereby reducing the deficit more quickly than planned.
All Americans--liberal and conservative--would surely cheer such good news, right?
Well, not exactly.
Liberals and the mean-spirited media not only did not cheer the news, but absolutely refused to congratulate President Bush for a policy that stoked the engine of free enterprise and added jobs to the US economy.
Other than political jealously, why would liberals be anything but joyful at increased government revenues?
According to a liberal friend, the answer is simple:
Additional revenues could have been realized by simply increasing, rather than reducing, taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
And, liberals contend, that would have saved scores of millions of dollars spent to process and deliver tax refund checks. To say nothing of the interest lost to the government whilst tax refunds were in the unwashed hands of the public.
To the liberal, there is no greater sin than to relinquish control over monies that have already been extracted from the tax-paying public. Even if to do so would ultimately result in greater revenues for the federal government.
That is insanity!
