Congress won't address the growing reach of the alternative minimum tax this year, leaving more than 15 million individuals and families subject to its bite for the first time next year.Gee, what a surprise...
Those f*cking f*ckers.

As much as it pains me, I like the AMT for its potential to generate something of a taxpayer revolt.

Frist disappoints again.
We need someone with strong management skills and hugh cojones that's not afraid to kick ass and take names.
Frist is just a caver.
Alito should already have been confirmed.

Republican thieves. Democrat thieves. The only difference is the degree to which they steal from the productive.

A big win for the Dems - there's 15 million people who probably won't bother voting at all for a Republican Party that refuses to represent their interests.

the irony of the AMT is that it hits the red staters worse than the blue staters.

Imagine that. They ran out of time. Yeah, Right!

How nice, I guess I'll have to fire someone just so I can pay my taxes. (not really, I would rather trade my H3 in than let anyone go, but I figured out what the AMT would hit me with the other week and it wasn't pretty..)

If the issue is tax year 2006, wouldn't Republicans have until December 31 to make changes? Retroactive tax cuts may be better politically than timely ones.

The problem is most politicians are lawyers, exactly the opposite of what you describe..

???- It hits worse in the states and localities with high tax rates and higher incomes on which those rates are levied [Inhale deep and start singing "New York, New York"]. And New York, especially NYC, is a "blue" location.

I live in the People's Socialist Republic of Nueva York and I can tell you that the AMT is a nightmare. This might wake up some democRAT zombies, when the tax bill arrives.

Democrats say Republicans have their priorities wrongNo Baucus, ALL OF YOU are to blame on this one, Republicans and DeathoCrats alike.
I hope my fledgling anti-incumbent movement hits at least a few of these political cowards.

To think that he, Frist, was once touted as a presidential possibility a few months back.

I think Congress goes into recess, therefore, they're "outta time".
I think those bastards should be forced to stay in the Senate/House non-stop until we get tax reform, SS reform, Medicare reform, etc. No showers, no food (might help fatass Kennedy and Levin), just water and a bottle to pee in -- until the United States gets some real reform.

They were too busy holding hearings on whether Sammy Sosa took steroids.
