I've never seen anyone complain about paying too little in taxes

But for those who really, really feel they are not paying their fair share and need to be taxed more... you may recall that a few years ago Governor Huckabee of Arkansas created the Tax Me More Fund for just such people who felt an irresistable impulse to pay more.

Huckabee said he would not donate to the fund and added that no Arkansans he has met outside of the Capitol have asked him to raise taxes.

However, "There's nothing in the law that prohibits those who believe they aren't paying enough in taxes from writing a check to the state of Arkansas," Huckabee said. "Maybe this will make them feel better."

Needless to say, few of the liberals put their money where their mouth was.

Two YEARS after creation, the fund had received less than $3,000.
