#1 Her key line was I think you need to pay your fair share for things weve decided are our national priorities,

We decide, you pay. We have access to all of it if we decide.

#2 I don't think anyone is saying we should pay no taxes. It is intuitively obvious to the most elementary observer that the government needs to provide some services - police, fire, roads, national defense and so on. Like for example, the things that the Constitution provides for. Other things can be state and local responsibilities.

The problem I have, particularly with the Federal government is all the stuff they have added on - especially in the last 60-80 years, like the EPA, and all the regulations that crush businesses, especially small businesses.

And no, I am not actually saying that the EPA should be abolished - I can remember when the environment really was much worse. I went to college in Cleveland, and you could practically chew the air - you could definitely smell the chemicals. The Cuyahoga river actually caught fire. Thanks to the EPA, it is much cleaner. (Of course, it is mostly because those businesses have been regulated out of business.)

However,the EPA has gone off the rails, looking for new things to regulate - like CO2, dust from farms, and so on. We could save a BIG chunk of change by cutting their budget way back.

#3 Rep. Schakowsky was a thug 20 years ago when she and her mob chased down Rostenkowski, and she's a thug now.
