A Shrewd Mint

I am Andrew, and this is my tumblelog. It is not, in fact, a blog about somersaults, but rather a veritable fount of wisdom, merriment, and deep philosophical reflection. Subscribe → Twitter →

It's not a tax, it's just the government taking your money →

From Reason Magazine:

“I don’t think I’m making it up,” Mr. Stephanopoulos said […] He cited the dictionary’s definition of “tax”—”a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”

Mr. Obama: “George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now…”

Because only the dishonest or clinically insane believe that “words” have a “real meaning”.

I’m sorry, I have to go read that again, because I still can’t believe he actually said that.
