Entry: Ross Douthat's Chutes and Ladders Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ross_douthats_chutes_and_ladders#32613 Post contents: "Unless conservatives are ready and willing to advocate full-on, Francoist patriarchy (Not that there’s anything wrong with that…), they really should give up on the notion that tinkering with tax policies will save the family, or the working class, or anything else caring about. Apart from closing the borders so we aren’t colonized by foreigners, there’s not much the State can do for us except cut our taxes and stay out of our way." Amen Dr. Zmirak! One can simply sum up the intellectual bankrupty of so-called "modern" conservatism with all these proposals to reinvigorate conservatism by jiggering the tax code. Is this all one can come up with? I thought we were supposed to get rid of this awful tax code, not play with in order to benefit certaining voting blocs? Isn't that what liberals do? Count me out. Sent at: 2008 12 01
