Tax Cheats for Higher Taxes
David Boaz put together an astounding list of Democrats who cheat on their taxes. The party that wants to raise taxes, cheats and doesn’t pay them.
I sympathize with anybody trying to hold down his tax bill. Government is too big and too expensive, few of us feel we get our money’s worth from our taxes, and we all have better uses for our money than bridges to nowhere and free condoms. But honestly, shouldn’t people who want to increase taxes on the rest of us — like Daschle, Geithner, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Chairman Charles Rangel, Al Franken, Governor David Paterson’s top aide, Democratic National Convention staffers, Al Sharpton, and so on — pay their own taxes?
Combine this with the fact that conservatives give more to charity than do liberals, and the moral bankruptcy of liberals and Democrats is revealed. The comments on the Kristoff blog post are precious. Liberals write in, explaining why they believe taxes should replace charity — but now we know that Democrats and liberals cheat on their taxes. They just want to feel self-righteous about spending other people’s money.
