I thought what he's saying is that the rich doling out their charity is not capable of replacing tax-and-spend as a way of meeting the nation's needs: that whatever largesse certain rich individuals may exhibit, we <strong>still</strong> need to tax the fuckers, because a donation to Deerfield Academy, even a $68 million donation, isn't going to educate a single kid from a family scraping by in South-Central LA, or repair a road that's falling apart in the Bronx or (as King points out himself) the levees in NOLA.

Wait...the Hardy Boys <i>didn't</i> gang bang Nancy Drew?! Oh wait...if it's just two dudes, is it still a "gang bang"? I thought that was just a threesome. I suppose if we got Fenton and Chet involved, it could be considered a gang bang.

Make all tax returns public. List the gross income, taxes paid, and amounts to charity.
