Yea, The Pubs get the award this month. I know…I know… they are always in the run­ning but this one is for their unbri­dled greed once again demon­strated by their bemoan­ing the expi­ra­tion of the Bush tax cuts. The world as we know it will cease to exist if the Bush tax cuts expire. As Fred Thom­son, Repub­li­can Sen­a­tor said, it will have “dev­as­tat­ing” and cat­a­strophic con­se­quences for the Amer­i­can economy.”

Really? Fred Thomp­son is a “tax Expert” mean­ing of course he pays no taxes. The Repub­li­cans believe they are enti­tled to keep all the money they steal from us and they don’t want it taxed. Well, they worked so hard to steal it, ya can’t blame em.

The Repub­li­cans are firm sup­port­ers of Democ­racy until the word taxes are men­tioned then they become Social­ist. They demand the Gov­ern­ment or the mid­dle class sub­si­dize their accrued wealth, of course it’s in our best inter­est. The Republican’s believe the mid­dle class should pay all the taxes so they can play the Slots, the slots being the Stock Mar­ket. You see If Thomp­son pays no taxes or less taxes he’s gonna play the Slot mar­ket which, eh… well not sure how that helps me. If the stock mar­ket goes up I make no money and if it goes down I make no money. It seems pretty rev­enue neu­tral for the major­ity of us.

The ironic part of the equa­tion is that the Repub­li­cans have been skew­er­ing Obama for the deficit and when an oppor­tu­nity arrives to cut it a bit. They bitch and moan. The Repub­li­can plan has always been, “you guys pay all the taxes we’ll keep our money and we’ll give you a few sub min­i­mum wage jobs” The Repub­li­cans are his­tor­i­cally against a min­i­mum wage which of course is another story. So bat­ten down the hatches and buy a flota­tion device cause the tears are head­ing our way, Imag­ine that, a Repub­li­can pay­ing his fair share. It’s down­right UN-American
