Great examples of what happens when you've got lefties running the show splashed all over the news this morning. Ironic great. Not awesome great. Actually, the opposite of awesome since we're talking about violations of the law, discrediting of the law and tens of thousands of workers out of a job by Monday.
In other words, just another day in Michigan.

So after all that talk about the importance of new revenues the woman didn't even pay her own taxes? Shocking details are emerging today that indicate Michigan's most prominent tax-hike advocates, Governor Jennifer Granholm and John Cherry, are in trouble with the federal government for, get this... refusing to pay their taxes! The kind of trouble you don't get in for a minor offense. The kind of trouble that only comes after repeated notifications from the federal government.

Posted at 8:16am on Apr. 17, 2007 Confession: I Hate Democracy
By Rick Moran
At least Matt Stoller says I do.
I just paid my taxes, and I have to say, I always take pride when I do so. I don't like having less money to spend, of course, and the complexity of the process is really upsetting. But I am proud to pay for democracy, and I feel when I do send money to the DC Treasurer and the US Treasury that that is what I am doing. The right-wing likes to pretend as if taxes are a burden instead of the price of democracy. And I suppose, if you hate democracy, as the right-wing does, then taxes are the price for paying for something you really don't want. Personally, I find banking fees, high cable and internet charges, health care costs, and credit card hidden charges much more abrasive than taxes, because with those I'm just being ripped off to pay for someone's summer home.
Patriotism is about recognizing that we are all connected in a fundamental moral and physical sense, that the war in Iraq is our war, that poverty in New Orleans is our poverty, that public funding to cure cancer comes from each of us and not just the scientists who have made it theirs. The tax burden we face is a very small price to pay for the privilege of taking responsibility for our own freedom and our own society. And the hatred of taxes on the right comes from a hatred for this responsibility. It's childish and immoral and unAmerican.
First of all, does anyone else get the creeps reading Mr. Stoller's paean to our IRS overlords? I'm very happy he appreciates living in a democracy. So do I. But the taxes he so happily and proudly parts with are collected by perhaps the most undemocratic, oppressive, out of control, nightmare of a bureaucracy our republic has ever known.
