Taxes are cool!

I enjoy National Parks. I enjoy National Public Radio. Call me crazy, but beautiful vistas and an unbiased presentation of the news appeal to me. I think schools are important and teachers are generally underpaid. I think a good education, right up to and through college, should be affordable for everyone who can earn it. I’m think we should make sure that everyone has a real shot at earning it. I believe that we should provide assistance for those among us who need it. I kind of think that’s why we started hunting Mammoths together way back when, which might be why I even think government is important. I like having police and judges and firefighters around to protect me, my belongings, and my rights. I even like the idea of having strong and well funded regulatory agencies. Call me crazy. Call me a socialist. Call me European. Call me un-American. Call me whatever you want. I’m still going to be OK with paying taxes, and I still think you should be too.
