“When you've had some experience in the private sector and come from a
business background, you realize that the government doesn't create

<<Cheney Sounds Call: No Net Taxes
(04/19/01, 11:29 a.m. ET)>>
Bart Simpson might have promised not to scare the vice president, but I never
promised I wouldn't deride him. I hope the exercise of talking out of both
sides of his mouth will help correct the seemingly permanent sneer on Mr.
Cheney's face. I refer to Mr. Cheney's assholic retort to Joe Lieberman
during the VP debates:
(from memory)
Lieberman: "You ciriticize current government policies but you seem to have
done quite well economically over the past eight years."
Cheney: "No thanks to the government."
That said, I support No Net Taxes - unless the tax goes directly to fund
nation-wide fuel cell implementation. :-)
