Biden Bites This One

Been beating on McCain/Palin for a while here and so here comes a jab at the other side. Recently Biden said this:

The truth of the matter is that we are in trouble. And the people who do not need a new tax cut should be willing, as patriotic Americans, to understand the way to get this economy back up on their feet is to give middle class taxpayers a break. We take the tax cut they're getting and we give it to the middle class.

We are all going to have to pay for the mess and that means we're going to pay more in taxes but to imply, as Biden does, that to not want to pay more in taxes is somehow unpatriotic is nonsense, and offensive from a campaign that said no one's patriotism would be questioned. It's also ridiculous as an argument to ask any group to take a hit so that some other one can get a break.

Everybody is going to be paying more taxes for a long, long time. The bill has come due.
