Thought for the day

Hey, Joe Biden, raising taxes during a recession -- or near recession -- is not patriotic, it is idiotic.

To quote the super-smart people at the Cato Institute: "If history is any guide, the states that raise taxes will be the states that remain mired in recession as the higher taxes continue to depress economic activity inside their borders."

"States can't possibly tax their way back to prosperity. Hopefully, the governors will be smart enough not to try to."

The same applies to the president and the nation.

To quote Sarah Palin, raising taxes now will make today's bad economy "seem like the good ol' days..."

Please listen to the woman, Joe. She's got it right here...
