size matters
smaller government seems to be the current political catch phrase. and i'm all for less regulatory intrusion into my personal life. but does size matter? not really. cost matters. cost in terms of lost personal liberties. i don't use marijuana. but i'm saddened prop 19 failed. and cost in dollars. if government were free we'd be happy with big government. but it isn't free. we feel the pain in the size of the bite that comes out of our paycheck. smaller government means keep your hands the hell off my paycheck. so here's a thought. let's stop taxing people who have paychecks. let's start taxing people who have portfolios. timmer for president.
