What I object to is the loaded emtional words, knee-jerk reactions,

at least get the facts straight.  Taxes are not "screwing the

very well paid yet their schtick includes living like paupers.

Well that's the 'It's not debate, it's shouting' mechanic I was referring to
last night. This is not the discussion of an issue per se, it's the good
olde republican schtick of demonising EVIL taxes; the sort of fake populism
they've been drivelling out for the last 40+ years, as a means of
convincing 'the little people' that the republicans are looking out for
them. Facts are an encumbrance to this sort of propagandising.
