Amazing that someone can shoehorn that many lies and craziness into a one page screed. It is a truly wonderous thing to see a fully-blown case of BDS up close like this. If they truly thought that Fred Thompson's campaign was dead and buried, would they stoop to denigrate him at every turn? I don't thinks so!

Isn’t there some kind of rule about posting articles from “The Nation”?

I'm powerless over the idea that taxes are not a bad way to fund programs that might do some good for our country.

The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem.

What rubbish! The Massachusetts State Income Tax Form has a block which allows taxpayers to pay additional taxes they don’t owe if they feel they should for the betterment of mankind. According to the DOR, approx. 0.37% of state residents do so, in a total so small the state won’t release the number (obviously the Liberals making the loudest demands are just plain liars). Just one more huge Big Leftist Lie that people can’t wait to pay higher taxes for social programs.

Her column Fired Up appears regularly in The Nation, and her essays have appeared in publications including the Los Angeles Times, Glamour, Child, Premiere, and Penthouse.

Wow, here's a body of work I think I would have left on the shelf..

Hi, my name is Annabelle, and I'm a taxaholic.

Hi Annabelle. First, we want to welcome you to Taxaholics Anonymous. We understand what it is like for you to want to pay more in taxes, but the gosh darn Bush Administration keeps making you hold on to more of your own money!!

But, Annabelle, we at Taxaholics Anonymous have a secret plan to expose the Bush Administration for the undertaxing meanies they are and trying to force America into greater personal wealth. We stymie them by paying MORE in taxes than we actually owe! In fact, we intentionally increase our tax rate to >70% and STILL don't think it's enough!!! Frankly, Annabelle, we're on the verge of either becoming homeless so we can pay even MORE in taxes, or engaging in self-flagellation as a means of punishing ourselves more because the Bushies won't. We believe like Warren Buffett and Barack (sounds like someone burping) Hussein Obama that we should and CAN pay MORE in taxes!!!

Thank you for joining us, Annabelle. To verify your commitment, please make a check out to the IRS (or the DNC, same difference to us) in the amount of $15,000.

Did I miss something? Have federal tax receipts gone down?

That’s funny. As I recall, a much higher percentage voted against eliminating the state income tax than checks off the higher box. Including Barney Frank. Of course Old Broken Clock Barney said that tha’s because he doesn’t trust the MA House of Reprehensibles with the money.

Actually for the same reason Jim Robinson doesn't allow visitors to bring buckets of manure into his house.

Nope. Just more propaganda confusing tax RATE cuts with tax AMOUNT cuts.

In reality, Bush has been a huge tax HIKER on the highest earners. They pay more both in (inflation adjusted) dollars and in share of the tax burden than they did under Clintoon.

It’s amazing that some people think a bureaucratic organization with dozens of layers of management, politically minded, more worried about special interests, compartmental in thinking, un-adaptive and without competition can run programs better than the private marketplace.

Never do I hear an answer to this question: “I want the government to manage my life because of their great track record at managing__________” (Please fill in the black).

Annabelle Gurwitch
She had landed a coveted role in a play in New York, and—what seemed a dream come true—would be working for Woody Allen, who was slated to direct. But a funny thing happened on the way to opening night. In a tale that is rapidly becoming famous, Allen called Gurwitch’s performance “retarded” and fired her.

Now if a sicko like Allen calls you "retarded", well... you must be. Especially considering that the sicko himself is retarded.
