Modest change, my butt.

Perhaps Jonathan Swift is among them. He's the satirist who authored "A Modest Proposal," in which he advocated the Irish devouring their children so that they wouldn't be a burden to their parents or country.

LOL, yeah it just depends on what the meaning of modest is.

That is probably what we will have to do to pay the taxes these jerks want.
