You're forgetting one thing

If by institutionalized, you mean that I agree that the tax system should be progressive, you're right. To the extent that the system is done badly, it's because of too many people trying to avoid their obligations and seeking special breaks for themselves.

We all derive benefits from the government and we all need to pay for them. Beyond that, we're the richest nation on the planet. I believe it's simply unacceptable that there are people in America who go to bed each night hungry. I believe that people who have more than enough should be expected to pony up a bit so that they don't have to go to bed hungry. Holmes called it the price of civilzation.

And at this point, I've come full circle yet again. We recycle this whole debate every few months and every few months I say the same things. You say the same things. Club says the same things. And Hank just sits in the corner of the cage and throws shit at the rest of us. I'm pretty sure I've played my part.

So, until next time....
And I'm on moratorium because of little Max- update Peanut had grade 1 cancer in one tumor but they think they got it all.
