Come on now, no need to be so disingenuous. Mr. Short's piece is nonsense and absurdist from its opening line to its closing one. Salaries are not the "single largest component of government spending" and nor is "and you should log off and never log on again" any more sensical either.
That plus the fact that nothing which he posted in his Thirteen Ways would at all affect taxation. Sure, they might have some effect on government spending but that's not what the Tea Party protest was about. So, Short's piece is both absurdist _and_ off the mark.

Like I said, it's missing its "humor" tag.
