The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

Yet so many Libertarians still refuse to attack Democrats. They'd rather aim their fire at fellow teammates in the Republican Party.
And you wonder why our limited government side never wins?
Opposition from those to whom you are opposed is not surprising.
Opposition (or betrayal) hurts worst when it comes from those you are close to.
Surely, you fellow travelers within Team R will come to your senses and support the Libertarian candidates for office, right?
The limited government side is the Libertarian side. Join us, we'll win.

You're (as usual) missing the point
Which is a government that derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed does not need a police presence of absurd proportions and capabilities to protect itself from the citizens.
