Advocates or Complainers?

Re “School Bonds Are Seen as Critical,” Feb. 28.

Why does The Times label every anti-tax doofus it interviews a “taxpayers’ advocate”? Would you call someone who enjoyed eating out but groused about paying the tab a “diners’ advocate”?

I am a taxpayer--have been for decades--and have nothing in common with these would-be public service freeloaders. Stop telling me they are pleading my cause, which is how my dictionary defines an advocate. Call the Howard Jarvis clones what they are: knee-jerk tax complainers.
