Steve Russell — himself a member of the Cherokee Nation — quotes his “all time favorite Cherokee,” Will Rogers: “When a [political] party can’t think of anything else they always fall back on Lower Taxes. It has a magic sound to a voter, just like Fairyland…” Rogers wrote that in 1924, and that same year he suggested essentially what the Occupy folks are demanding: quit allowing unlimited gambling by Wall Street with other people’s money.
