Sowell: Governments Don't Ask

"No previous administration in the entire history of the nation ever
finished the year with a trillion dollar deficit. The Obama
administration has done so every single year. Yet political and media
discussions of the financial crisis have been focussed overwhelmingly on
how to get more tax revenue to pay for past and future spending.

"The very catchwords and phrases used by the Obama administration betray
how phony this all is. For example, "We are just asking the rich to pay
a little more."

"This is an insult to our intelligence. The government doesn't "ask"
anybody to pay anything. It orders you to pay the taxes they impose and
you can go to prison if you don't."
