Sunday, December 12, 2010


That's what I'm (and millions of other liberals) trying to do, dearie.  

Get the flick out of the way.

David Axelrod: No 'Major Changes' To Tax Cut Deal As Van Hollen Calls For Estate Tax Vote


No, dearie, the "it's only for two years" ploy again isn't fooling anybody.

It lapses, yet again, in another election zone.  Whatever the circumstan­ces are, improved or worsened economy, the argument is going to be that "You don't 'raise taxes' during a _____" -- The fact is that this isn't 'raising taxes'.  

By the way, the economy is going to be worse in two years -- Everything that Obama and Ds&Rs are doing guarantees it.  We've had 3 million foreclosur­es so far and there are 11 million in the pipeline.  That, in and of itself, is going to cause another wave of firings and foreclosur­es.  Obama just negotiated another NAFTA-like treaty with S. Korea -- That's more Americans' jobs going overseas.

Obama is liquidatin­g the US.  It's a fire sale.

99ers aren't covered in this 'deal' -- How selfish are you then for selling your fellow Americans out?

Obama Cites Bailed-Out Bank Donor as Reason to Back Bush Tax Cuts


A press release from the White House (you can see it here) citing a pro-tax cut memo from Morgan Stanley as reason for Congress to pass the Bush tax cuts on income over $250,000 a year. Let's step back and chronicle the steps that show just how audacious this really is.

1. Morgan Stanley is one of the big financial firms that helps run the economy into the ground.

2. Morgan Stanley becomes one of the top corporate campaign contributo­rs to Barack Obama.

3. Obama's Fed gives Morgan Stanley a 2 trillion bailout.

4. Nonetheles­s, Obama cites this same bailed out bank as a credible and objective source on the economy Morgan Stanley helped destroy - all in order to sell a tax plan that will benefit Morgan Stanley's executives in the form of new high-incom­e tax cuts.

I think the "Which side are you on?" question about Obama has been answered.

* Note that the press release also cited another Obama bailout recipient, Barclay's.

The 'Rule of Thumb' about when tax cuts make sense is, "When a nation's bills are paid".  When the nation is in surplus.  

You don't go on vacation when you haven't paid the rent.  You don't buy a Rolls Royce when you're living in your parents' garage.  You don't buy Godiva chocolates when there's no food in the fridge or the cupboards to feed your kids.

When a tax cut requires a nation to borrow more money, adding to the deficit, increasing the national debt, that's robbing the People to give to the rich.  Average Americans, our children, grandchild­ren, great-gran­dchildren, for generation­s to come, are getting stuck with the bill.

In 2001, Bush's tax cuts were sold to us as "job creators".  "They'd stimulate the economy".  They didn't.  

The money for Bush's tax cuts had to be borrowed, just as these tax cuts will have to be.  From China, Saudi Arabia (which then turns around and donates to Al Qaeda, Taliban, Hamas, etc.) and IRAN (yes, Iran own us, too).

The money is all gone.  We're now stuck with cleaning up the party that the rich had (investing overseas, in other nations, outsourcin­g Americans' jobs and closing down US manufactur­ing).  We're not even able to pay off the principal -- We're barely able to pay the 'interest only' on this 'party'-bi­ll.

It's bad enough that working Americans have been paying for the parties of the rich, but it's even worse than that:  We're not only paying for their parties, we're taking out loans so that they can stuff their mattresses.  

If I'm paying for bathtubs full of Dom Perignon, I'd better d@mned well be the one soaking in it.
