TAXES AND THE TOOTH FAIRY

To the Democrats who say “that anyone who thinks you can balance the budget without raising taxes must still believe in the tooth fairy.”
Any parent knows who the tooth fairy really is and every parent who celebrates Christmas knows only too well who foots the bill for Santa's visit and only the terminally naive believe more taxes will lead to a balanced budget.
Every working person who has experienced too much month left at the end of the paycheck knows that all they had to do was go to their employer and say, “I’m having a cash flow problem and I need to assess you for additional revenue to balance my budget.” And, of course, that old employer just dug a little deeper and said, “Sure, how much do you need?”
But pigs don’t really fly and I pay the bills for the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, so I understand their reality. What I don’t understand is the reality of tax and spend politicians and the gullibility of people who believe them.
