If you think higher taxes create greater economic growth and freedom, then mention that! But don't dance around the issue with five pages of rhetorical devices and examples, and never mention why you're advocating a position... as your core belief. Read a couple articles last night, and enjoyed them. (Well balanced) food for thought.
