Our antiquated, neglected infrastructure could just fall on our heads, if we don't submit to the IRS.

It's smart rhetoric by him.

The progressives (and Donald Trump) will eat it up.

"America wants a smart government, a lean government, an accountable government...."

Traditional liberal talking point. "We don't need a smaller government, we just need a better government". But it's like Friedman says in that Phil Donahue clip, "Where are all these angels?"

Exactly. Americans want lean, smart, accountable government; but will he do this? I don't see this based on past performance.

Our government is in no way imaginable bashful about spending. How does he stand up and tell us that out infrastructure is falling apart because we don't pay enough taxes. Korea and China passing the US in infrastructure because we don't pay enough taxes? Don't have the numbers in front of me, but I am sure the US collect manys times more tax revenue per capita than China and South Korea.

Fixing the infrastructure isn't about increasing tax revenue, it is about government being smart, lean, and accountable. THEY ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH TAX MONEY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Of all the things I am afraid of, my fear of NOT raising taxes is manageable.....

I'm going to take the title of this thread as a direct mafioso threat from Oblabla himself.
