If you haven’t been following those brave and busy folks holding up the roof at Instapundit while The Prof has been out galavanting, you’re missing out on one very excellent discussion as to why leftists who constantly complain that the government needs more tax money don’t cut a check out of their personal income/savings and help out.
Megan McArdle starts here, moves it to Insta-land here, then gets emailed posts in response here and closes it up here.
I enjoyed reading the arguments, one of which is “I’m not gonna do it if you’re not, that’s why the government needs to force people to pay more at the point of a gun.”
OK, so I added the “point of a gun” part. Just go read.
