Alright Walter...
No icarus, we can all be rich if we just do some more bootstrap pullin'. That's why I am gonna vote for Republicans every time - I don't want to pay high taxes when I'm rich!

Fuck all of the taxes.
Republicans championing tax cuts for the rich aren't appealing to my sensibilities because they're targeting literally 1% of the population and playing favorites. I'm not going to demand higher taxes for the rich, I think most taxes are disgusting and shaping behavior with tax policy is offensive, but way too much effort and attention goes to cutting taxes for a very small percentage of the population. I don't care if the debate is on lowering my personal taxes or not, but talk about tax policy in a way that is not transparently favoring only your wealthy supporters.
Why do you think that shaping behavior with tax policy is offensive?

The idea of a central planner knowing better than the infinite self-interested cogs in the universe is not only comical, but onerous. Individuals are a lot smarter than government gives them credit.
It also has a habit of backfiring or resulting in unintended consequences.
What I've realized: The most complicated and manipulative economic policies presuppose the simplest, controllable reality. While the simplest economic policy--laissez faire--presupposes the most complicated and unpredictable reality.
This is the second year in a row that left-wing extremists have attempted to disrupt a candidate while he was speaking at the RNC (Code Pink did so to McCain in '08). Has the same thing happened at the DNC? And if not, why is it only happening to Republicans? I'm all for open dialogue and debate, but to show up somewhere uninvited and create such a ruckus is rather inconsiderate.
