This was a continuation of a response to Bowser on Newt and the Space Program. The weird idea that the huge tax rates of our past and powerful big-spending government were the source of all good in this nation. I probably should have included the link, since nobody here reads everything.

I thought the link to the article you posted would make my response obvious, since it was based on the same myth.
