I'll gladly CONSIDER paying more once I'm convinced of two things. There's a legitimate (non-entitlement) need and the pols have done all they can to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse.

excerpt
Raise your hand if you believe we are not turning enough of our income over to government. Raise your other hand if you think government is too small and spends too little.
Tax revenues are at a record high and the deficit is shrinking under the Bush tax cuts. Since the policy is working -- even in the middle of new spending by the former Republican majority and current Democratic majority -- why does government require more of our money? Why can't they live within our means? Why do we allow government to get away with the fiction that everything it does is right and noble and true and if we resist paying for it, we are unholy and uncaring?
I'll gladly CONSIDER paying more once I'm convinced of two things. There's a legitimate (non-entitlement) need and the pols have done all they can to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse.
