Undoubtedly true -- but when did whiney George say that?


I figure, 1984: here's the opening paragraph of his column titled

America the Undertaxed

"Ah, July: the fields are white with daisies. In January, I promised that not
"until the fields are white with daisies" would I again mention that we are, as
a nation, undertaxed. I now return to that topic because the inescapable need
to raise taxes raises this question: can Ronald Reagan really want to be
re-elected? If he faces facts --if he reads the numbers in the Wall Street
Journal -- he knows that in 1985 the President must hurry to restore the
government's revenue base. Reagan cannot be a Reaganite after 1984."

How times do change :-)
