Ah, its pretty clear they support a green agenda and all that. Obviously they have been using "herbal" remedies.

Setting an arbitrary limit on something like taxes, when all the evidence points to taxes being too low, is national suicide.

Why do so many advanced countries have higher tax rates than we do, and why did the country seem to be so much better off when taxes were higher?

Where is the logic that sets a tax rate so developed that you are willing to chisel that rate into the stone of the Constitution?

Agreed, $14.5 trillion and counting is "a call for national suicide".

Oh wait, you haven't the faintest idea about what is really happening, and all you care about is keeping things patched together until you're dead, because you don't give a rat's ass about anyone else after you're gone.

Carry on, oh king of the short squeeze.
