...example, Palin’s boiling down tax policy to “How can you possibly be better off if you’re paying more taxes?” is not only an inaccurate and irresponsible portrayal of the issue, but also an insult to the intelligence of the voting populace.

He likely has some incentive to racking up a certain number of dollars in traffic violations, reaching into the pockets of those very libertines—modern-day Patrick-Henries, all—whose tax-averse lifestyle the Granite State so loudly pretends to endorse. Perhaps this individual only likes seeing road-trip bonheur melt into something worse. There’s really no way of knowing.
