If liberals were honest, they'd admit that most taxes are for penalizing the rich rather than for fair taxation. If you could get them on the rack, they'd own up to their belief that no one should be rich...with a few exceptions like the limousine liberals. And of course middle-class citizens should not be given tax cuts because in the words of William Jefferson Clinton, responding to a a question from a women at a speech he gave in Buffalo shortly after the Monica affaire broke open, "we wouldn't spend it wisely". In short liberals do not trust Americans to be able to spend their own money correctly. That to me sums up the whole we-are-superior-to-you liberal attitude.

You are correct and would be even more so if you just said, "Liberals don't trust Americans.", or free, independent thinkers. Because free, independent thinkers won't do what liberals want them to, they can't be trusted.

In a word, it's Statism, the belief in a benevolent, benign State that has its citizens' best interests at heart, and seeks only to make their lives better. Statism is the religion of the Left. They believe whole-heartedly in it. Statism is the root of Socialism, Communism, Liberal thought, and the Democratic Party. Statism seeks to redress the percieved inequity of some having more than others, through wealth redistribution, taxation, and social programs to give to the "have-nots" what they have taken from the "haves", all in the belief that this will produce happiness and contentment for the citizens. As with all such philosophies, Statism fails to take into account human nature on the whole, but seeks to exploit greed and envy, while ignoring self-respect, the satisfaction of acheivement, and the pride of self-reliance.

Statism is a bankrupt, immoral and Godless system of oppression and enslavement, and the sooner the people realize and reject it, the better off we all will be.
