Has Senator Reid Gone Around The Bend?
I saw an article yesterday in which Harry Reid was reported to have given a speech in Nevada saying in all apparent sincerity that "Everyone wants to pay more taxes." And "the only people who don't want to give more money to the Government are those Republicans who are actively fighting against the health care bill and those who don't like Barack Obama" or words to that affect.
That sounds seriously nuts to me! It sounds like he's gone around the bend big time. Maybe the citizens of Nevada will finally put him out to pasture where he belongs. He certainly doesn't belong in the U.S. Senate.

I think Reid was taken out of context - what he was probably talking about was the fact that our tax code needs drastic overhauling - We are starving our government - and thus ultimately ourselves - with a tax base that is badly flawed - Everybody should pay something - no matter how little - and those who can afford to should pay their share.
Remember, during our greatest growth and prosperity period, the max rate was never less than 50% and that was on everything over $100K. No rich people starved or became less wealthy - in fact no one starved.
