More evidence of liberal media bias

Pat Buchanan is saying the same things and I wouldn't call him a liberal by any means.

"The Taft-Goldwater-Reagan-Helms Republicans were prepared to pay the political price for saying "No." But just as the Democrats of the 1930s found the formula for permanent power in "tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect," as Harold Ickes Sr. put it, the Bush Republicans and Big Government conservatives of the 1990s believe they have found an even surer formula for permanent power: "Cut taxes, spend and spend, elect and elect."

Whether they have or not we will discover in the fall of 2006, but already the battle is being joined inside the GOP, and it will be fought out in the primaries of 2008: deficit hawks vs. Big Government conservatives.

One day, not far off, Americans must choose: Either we keep the empire ? or our munificent welfare state. Either we raise taxes and pay as we go ? or we run deficits until foreigners cease to lend us the money and the dollar goes the way of the peso.

When Republican leaders are saying there is no more fat in the federal budget, the proper political translation is that the Grand Old Party of Taft, Goldwater, Reagan and Helms is no more. We have become the very people we went into politics to run out of town."

Americans don't like paying taxes, but we are now being rediculous. The US has one of the LOWEST tax rates of 'developed' nations. In countries like Israel a wealthy person can wind up giving more than 60% of their income to the government, most of which goes to funding public services. So, before everyone gets bent out of shape about a possible tax increase, let's keep it in perspective.

A low tax rate is part of the freedom that our country once had before the Socialists kicked in.

Where in our Constitution does it say "Thou shalt not be taxed!"?

The more a government spends the more it wants to spend. You have to stop at some point and ask "How high of a Tax percentage rate is too high?"

I think at some percentage rate the Tax should be capped saying if you tax at the maximum percentage rate, the government can not ask for any more tax.

One big problem in Washington is there are too many spending bills with extra spending added on top of the bill. We need to go to one spending bill for one item. Let every spending initiative stand or fail on its own merits.

As it stands now if democrates want a spending initiative passed they just wait for some bill that republicans want passed and just add it on to the bottom and they get what they want or Bush has to Veto his own legislation.
