Quote from denner:
Completely agree...but this is how many liberals try and talk around the truth about the "total tax burden". When I hear them go on the full court press about returning to some Clinton era tax rates, I want them to take a look at the COMPLETE tax picture..figure out every single tax you pay in a year and then compare it to the 1990's...it's not even funny (and don't even get me started on the amount of inflation since then)...or ZIRP, etc, e tc..
Liberals like to get people lost in the details. I've closed the loop around that whole discussion many times: The total budgets of all the public sector entities of the United States have budgets over half the GNP. That is not counting the unfunded stuff... So they are already getting more than half the GNP and at all levels they don't have enough money. That is all I need to know when it comes to deciding where to live.
