Politicians Boxer and Schumer would gladly increase our federal income tax by at least 10-20%, whether to pay for new airline defensive weapon systems, or just for more bloated bureaucracies, if given the opportunity.
But as was the case in the former Clinton regime, with whom these types are allied, they probably also despise their own military, if you dig beneath the surface.
Their types just want to take more of YOUR money, never mind whether you honestly earned it or not-have you ever walked through the streets of Berkeley, Madison or Austin?
