Non sequitur of the day: Patriotism

This was said a few days ago, but it still makes my mind recoil. Joe Biden challenges,
"It's time to be patriotic!"
Ooh, sounds stirring. Sounds compelling? But to what is he referring? Military service? No, that would be a free choice and hence, patriotic. Public service? Nope. Another free choice. Charitable giving? No. Again, your choice.

So what's Joe talking about? More taxes.


In case you think that he misspoke, he respoke:



If my money is being taken from me, and I have no choice, how is that being patriotic?

Again, that's just a snippet, but it jives completely with how the Democrats plan on governing our nation. What they don't get is hitting those who own the businesses and invest in the businesses will only affect those of us who buy those goods and services (apologies to Fred Thompson). Like food. And cars. And gas. And computers.

Crazy, isn't it.

But let's be honest. Taxes are going to go up regardless of which one of the candidates win.

If they (govt) can't tax us or borrow it, they will print it. Printing money is the most dishonest way for government to promise us something for nothing.

Devaluing the money will destroy the middle class far faster than it will the rich.
