The leftists’ view of tax money

The leftists betray their belief in collectivism by what they say. In their view, the government owns the money, and tax cuts “cost” government. Here is an excerpt from the “Dezinformatsia” section of the September 29, 2004 (02-39) edition of Federalist Patriot:

From the Leftmedia Psychosis Files: "A 10-year remedy to the [Alternative Minimum Tax] problem could cost the government $602 billion, if all the Bush tax cuts are extended beyond their 2010 expiration date, according to the Congressional Budget Office." --Jonathan Weisman, The Washington Pest **Last time we checked, the money belongs to the taxpayers and it doesn't cost the government anything.
