I will bet if the repubs stay firm and not fold, the economy will not tank. It is a lie to grow the tax base to grow the government. Don’t fed the beast. if you do, it’s your own doings. And thank you for making me pay for more freebies.
Don’t worry, you’re gonna pay anyway...Obamacare, carbon tax, capitol gains. Might as well get on with it.
You're right, of course. But that's not the point.
I consider this to be an "instructional" moment in American history. The vast lemming herd that voted for the Socialist-in-Chief has no idea that a fiscal cliff is just ahead. And if they are vaguely aware of such a thing, they believe that the tax-and-spend policies of the Democrats will save them.
Their eyes need to be pried open to the truth. Will it hurt? Yes. But pain focuses the mind and will get their attention. Socialism has consequences.
Bring on the consequences!
