I think they're lying. And I think they know it.

The crux of it is that, at least in December 2005, we're on the low end of the Laffer curve and that lowering taxes any more will only lower revenue. Every member of Congress surely knows this and yet I've not heard a single one mention it. Not only that, I've heard a hoard of them (all with the same letter after their name) scream that taxes are too high. Indeed there is a movement by citizens to drive taxes even lower and thus bankrupt our country.

Okay, the rank and file at the Teabagger Convention probably doesn't know. They just don't like taxes. But the folks organizing these things do know. And they're lying. Telling people what they want to hear in exchange for votes, even though they know it is running the country into the ground.

Just my thoughts.

By the way- I don't like taxes either. But I love America. As they say, freedom isn't free.
