seriously though, why does the amount that you're taxed "get your goat" as much as it does? some of you guys seem to be almost consumed by it. i don't get it.

Yep, and my dad is one of those pub tards. "I put myself through school, you can do it too." OK dad, the state only picked up about 70 percent of the tab compared to the 30 percent it was when I was in school.

Yeah research grants are always privately funded.

I've never heard of this Buffet (i bet he's on welfare) guy but clearly knows jack hullabaloo about the business world.  It's bleeding heart liberals like him and his fellow tax happy Obamites that are ruining our MMerica. 

In response i plan on standing outside my house chanting "Flat Tax" until someone tries to argue with me then i will channel all of the knowledge and insight i have gained from my EIB Demigod, at my local Tea Party Rallies, and Beck's chalkboard and totally burn whatever liberal pvssy steps up.

In a related story Voodoo economists the world over laugh at this Buffet fellow.

Parody post?  You do realize that the middle class is the backbone of our economy, right?

Space Exploration

False.   Get the government out and launch costs would fall 80-90%.  But no one can get a private venture off the ground when it is forced to compete with heavy taxpayer subsidization and extraordinarily well-protected regulatory monopoly.  Obama axing NASA funding was his one bright shining moment of competence, naturally he undid it almost before the ink was dry.

Any Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) should be able to understand the glaring problem, it's pretty obvious:



Add in an additional what, 15% of GDP for imposed federal regulatory costs today versus essentially 0 for the first 150 or so years of the republic and it becomes even more clear: this is absolutely unsustainable.  I give it a decade, maybe one and a half to complete economic collapse if nothing major is done.  

[AzCat]

Here's the version with federal (blue), state (red) and local (green) spending (state & local data go back only to 1904): 



How much is enough lefties?  If you spend half and half of the remainder is private spending imposed by regulatory fiat I'll suggest that you're headed the way of the former Soviet Union and for much the same reason.  Of course we might get lucky as our federal debt will almost certainly surpass the level which sucked Greece into the  toilet (and many others before them) prior to government controlling 100% of everything in the pseudo-private sector.  I'd prefer foreign creditors imposing an austerity budget on the US to the carnage of a completely command-and-control economy.

I think we need to both raise taxes and cut spending.  You can't claim to be serious about fiscal responsibility without a combination of the two at this point.
