Also an interesting link. One commenter said the following:
"And the true tax level is the amount of money the government spends. The rest is just details about when the taxes are going to be levied."
[Reminds me of the joke, (I'm sure everyone knows it) about the guy asking to sleep with a woman for $1million, when she agrees, he says great, here's $20.]
I would be shocked if Pres. Obama does not get a full 8yrs in office, what will be the telling tale will be if the Republicans can make any gains in the House. In order to do that, I believe, a large number of people in local elections will have to be sending Small Government advocates to the House. No big spending Republican is gonna get elected, because the Democrats hold the funding keys. We need to remember that Pres. Obama was not a long standing national politician, having only served in the Senate for 3 years. I believe People are looking for that right balance, or new style politician who can appear savvy, show concern for individuals, and somehow touch a deeper cord.
I really doubt that we have any good idea of who the next strong opposition candidate is yet.
