The Pendragon's Hall

Senator John McCain ("R"-AZ) is one Republican, if you want to call him that, who is dear to the hearts of media, mainly because he trumpets their call for higher taxes and sapping the war effort. McCain, who's a fairly well-off man, being a senator, is lecturing the general American public on what they ought to sacrifice. Attached to any tax hike would probably be a salary hike for Congress. For what, I'd like to know? Tax hikes are good...for Congress. But in fact studies show that high taxes bring in LESS, not MORE revenue for the government. Not to mention saddling the economy because nobody has any money to spend. Ask the British. They've had a socialist economy since World War II and many PM's have risen and fallen trying to pay for it.
