I believe my assumptions are neither bigger nor more incorrect than your assumption that the government can't raise taxes.

- DougWebb 10y agoI didn't mean that the government can't raise taxes the way you're assuming I meant. I was describing typical government behavior, where lawmakers have to decide how to describe the act of collecting more money. Calling it "raising taxes" makes it harder for them to get re-elected, so they call it "collecting a fee" instead.
