Tax 'Em High

Well, Body Odor's true colors (and it's not black) are showing once again. He is ardently toeing the well-trodden, but philosophically busted tax-and-spend path of his liberal Democratic--and Communist, let's not forget--ancestors while chanting "change" with the fervor of a Shi-ite stone-thrower.

Comes the news that in 2011, anyone wishing to fly in that sector of aviation known as General Aviation will be taxed blind, leading to the inevitable slowdown in the education and production of future airline pilots. Europeans who wish to learn how to fly come to the US in droves because they cannot afford to learn at home. Both my flight instructors in Florida were British, for example. Never mind the proud history of general aviation in this country, one that produced most of the airline pilots we have flying today as well as uncountable military pilots.

But this is par for the course. Body Odor is just another tax-and-spending president. Period.
