David Harsanyi: Be a patriot and pay up

The Denver Post's David Harsanyi is in the patriotic spirit. He wants the American taxpayer to pay his bills.

Given that most of you will be paying your neighbors' mortgages soon,
it only seems prudent that we start thinking in bolder terms. And by
"thinking in bolder terms," I mean "thinking about me."

Why, for instance, should I be on the hook to pay those grating
high-interest credit cards I signed up for? Or those detestable car
payments?

For you folks who are less than ecstatic about straightening out my
fiscal affairs, I have two things to say: 1) Don't be selfish. 2)
Forget everything you ever have heard about the American Revolution.

Change I can believe in. Not!
