Recommended – Real Reaganites Raise Taxes

I recommend the article Real Reaganites Raise Taxes by Jonathan Rauch in the National Journal magazine. He makes a largely non-partison argument that conservatives need to rethink their current position on taxes. In any case, the current no-more-taxes position seems to me to be based more on knee-jerk ideology than on careful examination of the evidence. Given the massive Federal debt we have already built up (under Republicans as well as Democrats) someday taxes are going to have to go up to pay it back. Worth reading and thinking about.
