Never Have More Paid Less Taxes for So Few

Governor Romney has won the Illinois primary, and as his victory speech is being beamed into my house right now, he is explaining that he has "the vision to get us out of this mess:"

"I see a time
when the government finally understands
that it's better for more people to pay less in taxes
than for a few people to pay a lot more!"
[Crowd cheers.]

Who can argue with that?

It is better for more people to pay less in taxes than for a few people to pay a lot more!

It would be worse for more people to pay more in taxes than for a few people to pay a lot less. Can we all agree on this?

It would also be worse for fewer people to pay more in taxes than for a lot of people to pay a few more taxes.

It would be better for less people to pay more in taxes than for more people to pay a few taxes. I think.

Visionary indeed. As a wise man once said, "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."
