Quote of the Day
Paraphrased from this Mostly Cajun post:
Taxpayer: A title much of the Democrat Party’s core constituency fails to acheive
Because it’s never a good idea to vote against your own economic best interests, and who doesn’t like “free money”?
Here’s a couple of associated quotes:
A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
—
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.
Both of those by Alexis de Tocqueville.
