It’s strange. Some of our representatives have actually been productive before their term/s in DC, yet they don’t have the sense to understand that hardship and unhappiness do not lead to rational thought.

That the debate is about whose head the IRS gun will be pointed at instead of how to remove the gun indicates clearly that rationality is not a characteristic of our representatives nor the voters who sent them there. That they put forward a sales tax as a fair tax because one will voluntarily pay it when buying goods and services is nonsensical! How can telling people that they can’t buy something without paying a tax be considered any more fair than taking it out of profits and salaries? The mind continues to boggle. |
