The IRS? The press? The Smoking Gun? Aren't IRS records confidential (well, as much as anything related to the government can be confidential).<BR/><BR/>I'm disappointed -- both by the loss and by the failure to pay taxes.Scritches.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888201072541904299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-61672735165073738222009-02-04T13:03:00.000-08:002009-02-04T13:03:00.000-08:00Okay--I've never taken it, and now I never will. ...Okay--I've never taken it, and now I never will.

But it was a false "better." It was like giving everyone a credit card and saying "go forth and spend," while not mentioning they'd have to pay off the account some day.<BR/><BR/>Reagan's weren't as ruinous as Bush's, but only because Bush the first was forced into reality (he'd called Reagan's "voodoo economics" after all) and raised taxes. And then Clinton did again.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately no one had the balls to force the end of the Bush tax cuts (during wartime!!!) before it was too late.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-61412058643813660822009-02-03T20:14:00.000-08:002009-02-03T20:14:00.000-08:00"Third, the issue is whether they worked."I know i..."Third, the issue is whether they worked."<BR/><BR/>I know it gets complicated, but I remember things were a lot better after the tax cuts than before.<BR/><BR/>Bill<BR/>Maybe I'll get my own blog so I can have my name in blue...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-73166191546235410672009-02-03T18:28:00.000-08:002009-02-03T18:28:00.000-08:00First of all, Frankie, Reagan had a Republican Sen...First of all, Frankie, Reagan had a Republican Senate for pretty much his whole two terms. <BR/><BR/>Second, in the house were lots of so called Reagan Democrats who were DINO.<BR/><BR/>Third, the issue is whether they worked.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-52661648143549457422009-02-03T17:57:00.000-08:002009-02-03T17:57:00.000-08:00You can add me to your list of regular readers eve...You can add me to your list of regular readers even if I am anonymous.
