No one seems to be writing opinion pieces quite the way I would, so I decided to do it myself.

The name? Taverns are places where one goes to discuss the interesting events and things in the world, so this is my tavern.

I will offer my views on politics, economics, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I will occasionally publish the entire article from another journal for purposes of causing discussion.

 

The Republicans are correct

America has a choice. This November we can continue to let the Republicans who occupy and believe that they deserve to own the ~our~ government or we can kick them out and send them back to the Wyoming sticks where they belong.

These people really have a sense of entitlement. The government is THEIR playtoy, and we are all suppose to pay for it - unless we are wealthy, and then we don't have to.

What am I pissed about now? Here. First read this.

"America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation."

Clearly RNC propaganda, right? Only, guess who paid for it? Here at the bottom of a press release from FROM THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

Not government spread RNC propaganda? Really? Look at the bottom of this page in the next to the last paragraph of the G. O. P. Fact Sheet. Look at the part in bold.

"America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's polices are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation. A pro-growth economic agenda, a strong education system, and help for American workers to gain the skills to secure good jobs are the right ways to respond to the challenges of our growing and changing economy. " [Note - this was copied April 21, 2004 at 11:21 AM Central Time.]

We DO have a choice. If we let them continue to steal from us, we deserve it.
