I’m constantly amazed with the mental gymnastics people who advocate for tax increases partake in. The know the government is abysmal with money, yet think by giving it a blank check that magically all societal ills will be solved.

- candiodari 9y agoThe problem is that the mental gymnastics of both sides are so full of holes they are absurd. The left - we're just going to force everything to be correct and just, including of course, and most importantly, who has money for what. Needless to say, historical societies went quite far in this, and to say it didn't happen is an understatement. The right - just give more money to people who already have it, and clearly hoard it (that's what lowering taxes does), and they will make everything just and correct. Needless to say, historically this has been done and to say things did not in fact become fair and just is an incredible understatement. Neither works. Obviously.
