If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

On this date in 1688 was born legendary poet and satirist Alexander Pope whose witticisms and insights are now established maxims. "To err is human; to bust balls, moreso," "Fools rush in where angels say fuck it, no," and "A little learning is a dangerous thing for morons" are all born of his pen.
