The University of Common Sense

The Atlanta area is blessed to be able to hear the wisdom and common sense of Herman Cain on WSB 750 New/Talk each weeknight from 7 to 10 Eastern Time. Occasional, Herman’s wisdom and common sense is augmented by his callers. Tonight, that wisdom came through the voice of a caller named Michele who lamented the fact that, while many complain about the climbing price of gasoline, not enough people are likewise lamenting the fact that our Democrat-controlled Congress is about to let the Bush tax cuts expire and are also planning on adding to that climbing gasoline price by tacking on additional gasoline taxes (both of which will hit our wallets worse than the gasoline price increases alone). Herman observed the syndrome that plagues too many Americans, viz., out of sight, out of mind. It’s apparently not immediately obvious to the average American (and too many don’t play close enough attention) that this is what the Democrat-controlled Congress has planned for us. This ignorance reminds me of the guy who commented that he wasn’t worried about taxes because he wasn’t paying any taxes this year. Why? Because he was getting a refund! Heaven save us from such ignorance.
