What's your's is their's

The Treasury Department is saying that making President Bush's tax cuts permamanent will cost the government billions of dollars. It is helpful to remember that whenever a government official says that keeping a tax cut is going to cost government billions of dollars, what they are really saying is that they prefer that government take billions of dollars more out of the pockets of the American people. This isn't an original thought, but it is one that should be repeated every single time someone in the government makes this claim, because they'll tax you into the poor house if you let them.
