[Vision2020] Cost of Government Day

[thansen@moscow.com]

This is true, Mr. Courtney.  Taxes have been increasing.  And with an 
increasing national deficit, those taxes will increase even more.  Nothing is 
free, Mr. Courtney.  Programs cost money.  The Defense costs money.  Wars cost 
money.  

You see, Mr. Courtney, my definition is (as I have stated before) "Free only 
means that somebody else pays for it."  Unfortunately that "somebody else" may 
be our next generation.

A tax reduction in the face of an ever increasing deficit borders on absolute 
stupidity.  The money to pay for the programs, Defense, wars, etc. etc. MUST 
come from somewhere.

Unless you have found a money tree, the American people will have to pay the 
bills.

Always willing to pay my share,
