RE: Finally, a great ad! Could it be a Damascus moment? Perhaps a Te Deum is in order.

Dear Debbie Debbie,

Let us stipulate to the simple fact that you may not receive this before the election. I mention this because we can both agree that the United States Postal Service is not to be confused with UPS or FEDEX. I say that because as soon as the business model of the Postal Service is tweaked for Obamacare the Medicare savings will become obvious. “Don’t buy any green bananas” will become the standard for Death Panel geriatrics. I have it on deep background from reliable sources who must remain anonymous that the Department of Health and Human Services is working on a new PET Scan device. As soon as you are in the tunnel it strips you of all serviceable organs and projectile vomits you out the other end onto the no carbon footprint compost heap upon which rescued polar bears squat like Pavlovian dogs.

But enough about the future.

I saw you in an ad that has you saying “We’ve cut taxes, we’ve cut taxes!”

Why you say this is the reason for my note.

#1 – It is possible that you have finally read Keynes. To say that he is the chosen hero of modern American Liberalism is a given. Alas, mush brained economic nit-wits quote him without ever reading him. One of his bed rock principles, the one that moronic mALs never read, was to lower all marginal tax rates to stimulate demand. That he took his thoughts on deficit financing straight from Alexander Hamilton is also a given. Modern American Liberals flock to him because he gives them some intellectual cover for borrowing money, printing money, stealing money, debasing money….by any means necessary…to fund their social programs. My favorite one is “Midnight Basketball”. It certainly beats locking them up.

#2 – The other possibility, as intriguing as any imaginable, is that you have come to the temple of Hayek. I say intriguing because just before his death John Maynard Keynes had taken the first steps to be accepted as a full member. From there it is a short journey to reading and understanding the sacred tablets set down by Milton Friedman.

Logic dictates, nay, Logic demands that I ask if tax cuts are good for small business, as you say, why wouldn’t they be good for big business. Whatever else Logic is it is not a parabolic curve. If it is good for businesses both big and small why wouldn’t it be good for the biggest business of all?


That business is, of course, the one in Washington, DC. It is the one that tells its shareholders how to eat and how to flush their toilets. It rewards failure – ethanol, teacher tenure, price controls, inter alia – and punishes success – Microsoft, the internet, American medicine.

Praise G-d that you have had your Damascus moment. [Damascus moment? SASE]

Conversions are never easy. Keep the following in mind.

“He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms
of officers, to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

The above is just as important today as it was when it was written. It was written in 1776.

My prayers will be with you as you begin the transition from a statist thug to a true daughter and champion of American exceptionalism.

Once you realize that the role of a legislator is to secure the “blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” the rest is easy.

First, become a champion of tax cuts.
