Michael Medved is an interesting guy. He started out forty years ago as a hard core liberal but over the years found the light and has come over to the other side. Medved is also a renowned movie critic. I'm not sure if we can get his radio show in the Columbus area but if we can we're all missing out on solid entertainment. I do know one can go to this web site and pick up his show. He regularly brings liberals onto his show and allows them to offer opinions while he never loses his cool. Enough introduction.
Last year I was driving home from Minnesota and picked up radio station 560 AM out of Chicago and was listening to Medved. He made a statement that I found profound but he didn't source it. I've looked everywhere to back it up but can't find the information needed to make it solid. Anyway, one of his callers was telling him(Medved) that the rich should pay their fair share of taxes. Michael came back with, "there has never been a time in American history when taxes were raised that government spending didn't do the same. This is significant, especially in these times. I do recall a promise Geo. H. Bush made about 'no new taxes' then he reneged. And what occurred next? He was promised by Senate Majority Liar, George Mitchell(D) and Speaker of the House Corruption Society, Tom Foley(D) if Bush would raise taxes they would make sure spending would be cut by the Dem controlled houses. Bush was proven to be stupid and lost the election of '92 and the democrats proved that they were liars. So what else is new?
