Socialism lies to you until communism takes over. Then only the Gores and Gorbachevs will be sending descendants to higher education while our descendants eat lentils and rice. Vladimir Lenin: The goal of socialism is communism.

As a solidly middle class person I think even I can manage, painful though it may be, to see my taxes increase slightly and my services decrease slightly. A real solution to the deficit requires real compromise on both sides.
