New donks is the same as old donks, tax and spend to fund their constituents, the non-producing dregs of society, then gun control. Don’t worry the gun bans will be coming right along.

Just be wary of the Democrat’s terror wing.

‘Just be wary of the Democrat’s terror wing.’

Are you referring to the alphabet soup fed LE agencies or acorn?

Note to self:

Be less obviously productive. No overtime this year. Continue to liquidate and hide assets. Work off the books whenever possible. Increase tax-deductions. Put more pre-tax money into investment vehicles.

STARVE THE BEAST!

But House ML Hoyer promised he would never vote for the bill with tax increases in it. Does this mean the House and Senate versions will need to be reconciled in the conference committee?

Gee, I wonder what the bill will contain when it comes back from conference? And how long members will have to read and analyze it before being forced to vote on it?

BOHICA.

This isn’t going to work! The high earners will simply redistribute the wealth within their families so they can slide under the radar! PLUS, Thatcher said the problem with Fascism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money! ...

“high earners = anyone who works hard to be successful.”

More true than you may think once the inflation from the takeover of GM and the financial industries fully impacts the economy and the effects of trillion dollars per year in the red are factored in. Then your typical $40k a year for a household will be inflated to about the level the socialists say makes you “rich”. Forget the fact you have $40k in buying power, just listen to the soothing Hussein and he'll assure you it's all wonderful.

You’ve been here long enough to know that FR is full of Lincoln haters.

If we made $250K or over, I'd pick up a few truly needy dependents rather than let the fascists in Washington take my earnings to buy votes from the "wanting", lazy, government dependents.
I'd do everything I could to avoid paying the bills for the democrat base. ( Stop feeding them, and they'll find their own jobs quick enough.)

“Dems Target High Earners to Fund Health Plan”

Title should read “Dem Target Destruction of American Achievers”

or maybe

“Dems Target Soaking Those Who Earn So They Can Payoff Others To Vote For Dems”

The new IRS form will have two lines next year.

Line 1. How much did you make in 2009?

Line 2. Send it in.
