A Quickie: Republicans Heart The IRS

By Miss Kubelik

It's clear that the GOP — in thrall to Grover Norquist and blinded to any quest not involving "smaller government, lower taxes" — has not only stymied legislation that would benefit the country and their own sorry party, but over the years has managed to bring governing to a screeching near-halt.

After all, as reasonable people have queried: How can you have a debate about government policy with folks who think government should do nothing at all? Drown it in the bathtub, they say. Any tax — any tax at all — is an insult to freedom.

Well, guess what: It turns out that Republicans don't hate taxes as much as we thought they did. Or at least, let's just say that they don't hate taxes as much as they hate women, gays, African-Americans and mixed-race Presidents.

See, taxes are okay if immigrants pay them.

We cats HISS.
