Awesome close to Lileks's Bleat today. He explains to a Kerry canvasser that the tax cut was good because he spent it on home remodeling which provided jobs, bought fixtures and increased his property value. Not to be outdone, the clever young lady had comebacks:
"Well, what did you do?" she snapped."What do you mean?"
"Why should the government have given you the money in the first place?"
"They didn't give it to me. They just took less of my money."
That was the last straw. Now she was angry. And the truth came out:
"Well, why is it your money? I think it should be their money"
Then she left.
And walked down the stairs. I let her go without charging a toll. It's the philanthropist in me.
"Thank you" NEA and the public schools.
