If there's one thing Republicans love, it's diversity: diversity of ways to obstruct legislation. A letter was sent to Harry Reid this morning and signed by all 42 Senate Republicans letting him know that he won't be able to pass any legislation until he lets them extend the Bush tax cuts for really rich people. This is the only thing that matters to them, and will probably be the only thing they are willing to pass in the next couple of years, because they have a cool strategy that makes politics easy for them and makes sure they don't have to work too hard. Oh, "economy," "jobs." Now that they said those two words, can they have their tax cuts?
Don't you people understand? If rich people have low taxes, they'll invest the money to create jobs!
Wait....taxes are ALREADY at those rates and they're NOT investing the money to create jobs?
Ok, but....you see...LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE TERRORIST LIBERAL LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMIE SOCIALIST!
So, like I was say....If rich people have low taxes, they'll invest the money to create jobs!
This is exactly what I'd like to happen. Even seems like the 'fairest' solution.
But of course this will spin up the Corporate-Citizen Pundit Trumpet Machine to a nonstop ear-splitting "TAX INCREASE" wail, causing all the U.S. American Teevee Message Receptacles (people/consumers) to eventually resonate at the same horrible frequency, overpowering all further attempts at rational thinking.
Because people will still blame the Dems and Obama because they're in "power". Plus, you know, for all their faults, Dems do want to actually do shit.
Ah yes, the no compromise, draw the line in the sand, it’s all black white, my way or the highway approach to government that essentially means “I’ve tried thinking before but it’s too hard.” Nothing but a bunch of ditto heads.
Most of those Repubicans voted for the Bush cuts with the expiration dates. Are they flip-flopping now? Extra credit question: How have the Bush tax cuts improved the economy in the past 8 years? Be specific & show your work.
...for Republicans "tax cuts" are the political equivalent to "walking it off" for a little league football coach!
-"Hey coach I'm bleeding" -"My back is broken!" -"I can't feel legs!" -"The bone is showing!

Withhold all paychecks to Congress, including staff.

Remedy = "walk it off son"
What they mean is: "Fuck it, just hand China the keys and walk away."
