As the headline says, whenever a political figure or a leftist claims that “paying taxes is patriotic,” you will note that they are about to tell you that you should pay more. This is a fundamental law of the universe, to be known henceforth as Clark’s Law of Taxational Patriotism: “When taxation is levied, the claim that paying taxes is an act of patriotism shall invariably be followed by a demand for a higher taxes.”
This brings us to a Maryland state delegate, Gabriel Acevero, who is making just this claim: “The most patriotic thing you can do is not the Pledge of Allegiance… but paying your fair share in taxes.”
Deranged Maryland Rep claims it’s more patriotic to pay taxes than stand for the Pledge of Allegiance:
“The most patriotic thing you can do is not the Pledge of Allegiance… but paying your fair share in taxes.”
