On Tax Day, some consideration on how we got here.

Here are some nuggets found in the October 17, 2000 Presidential debates straight from George Bush:
"We structured the [tax cut] plan so that six million additional American families pay no taxes." 
"I don't think the surplus is the government's money. I think it's the people's money...you ought to have some of this surplus.
So, when someone tells you that the tax structure is messed up because so many people don't pay any taxes, or that the US federal debt is out of control, you know where to look: REPUBLICANS!
