Quote of the Day, plus a transcript

I think it’s an affront to their memory that we have a tax on the books in this country today that says if you work and earn some money and you pay your income tax on it, and you try to give it to your kids or your family — the natural object of your bounty — you’re going to get taxed again.
— Lieutenant Lynn “Buck” Compton, one of the Band of Brothers
In honor of the 61st anniversary of D-Day and the beginning of the end of the Third Reich, Lieutenant Compton made an appearance on Fox and Friends this morning. As well as telling some of his own story, he has an issue he stands for. He laid his life on the line for this country. He deserves the courtesy of a respectful hearing.
I’ve tried, thanks to the DVR, to make a decent transcript of the entirety of LT Compton’s appearance on the program. A generation is passing away; things like this should not disappear down the memory hole.
