Yesterday was Tax Day. The Tea Parties were out, and unsurprisingly, USA Today found a new way to demonize them. In an opinion for the paper, Rich Benjamin details the giddy feeling he gets every spring when he meets with his tax accountant, Howard Carlin. Benjamin loves paying taxes, and apparently that makes him a true patriot. The good news: if Benjamin is ever feeling extra patriotic, he can always have Howard send Uncle Sam an extra large check. After all, Benjamin's tax burden is only a minimum requirement. He's welcome to pay more. The bad news: Benjamin's love for all things fiscally confiscatory demonstrates his lack of understanding of our founding.
