More From Eugene Ionesco

Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.
