LIBERAL INSANITY. PART II. The phrase is bandied about: "Tax Cuts; how will you PAY for TAX cuts?" What an INSANE and mendacious concept. What a diversion. Bring this concept home to your household. Let's presume that some fixed cost that you have has JUST GONE DOWN...maybe a lower car payment, or homeowners insurance. You NOW have MORE income that can go to another area. Using the above logic...you should PIZZ away that money...so you can PAY for your SAVINGS? ONLY in Government do the fools, in their prevarications, call reduced taxes something to be PAID FOR. WHY? Because they do not want to be RESPONSIBLE! They believe themselves Entitled to a Continuous and ever-larger INCOME STREAM! Your Money!

The government is no longer there to serve the people, but to be served by the people. It's a monster of our creating that simply will not starve itself out of existence. It's left up to the American people, using our constitution, to put the government back into it's constitutional role.

The Marxist regards all produced income as subject to redistribution in accordance with "fairness." Therefore, any income allowed to remain in the possession of its producer is considered the same as a redistribution "payment."

Why do the libs think that tax cuts need to be paid for? Because libs are dumb enough to think that your money doesn't belong to you, but to the government. Thus, in that fashion, they've already accounted for it as the governments, and SPENT it. Thus, to the libs, any shortfall needs to be covered somewhere else. It's complete nonsense, of course, but what really amazes me is just how long the silly concept has been around, and considered a viable part of tax policy. I'm not sure, but I think that this concept has been around since at least the time of Tip O'Neill's speakership.

The other foolish concept that leads libs to think that your money belongs to government is the boneheaded concept of baseline budgeting.

Heh: Cutter Reverses Self, Repeats Previously-Abandoned '$5 Trillion' Lie

Effortless lying just comes easier to some of us, it seems. Here's now-infamous Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter on CNN, earlier this week:

MORGAN: "You have already indicated again that you don't really believe it will be a $5 trillion tax cut."

CUTTER: “No. What I have indicated was he has a $5 trillion tax cut.”

Sigh. Let's go to
