I’m beginning to think the The Virginian-Pilot editorial page is printed on a Xerox machine.
Pick an issue: Transportation, education, health care, the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (African or European). Doesn’t matter. The Pilot editorial board spews out the same solution. TAXES!
Certainly someone can teach our Pilot parrots another word.
Today’s editorial [1] concerns the Gulf oil spill which continues to ravage the Gulf while Obama improves his golf game. What’s the Pilot’s solution?
“Reviving the tax – generally, 9.7 cents per barrel of crude or refined oil and up to $4.87 per ton of hazardous chemicals – is the most logical way to make progress on the existing list and deal with future problems.” (Virginian-Pilot)
If these buffoons keep this up, they’re going to write that the solution to government overspending will be higher taxes.
As if they’d ever think government can overspend.
Brilliant, comrades! The way to fix the gulf oil disaster is to raise taxes on oil.
One of these days, perhaps they’ll offer a solution to the problem of funding landfills.
