If I had gotten what I wanted, there would be a filibuster-proof GOP majority in both houses.

I did the exact same thing you did in November: I held my nose, closed my eyes, winced, turned my head, and voted straight GOP.

So yeah, we’re both sheep - and we’ve been sheared.

This is sure to slow down the economy fast and big time.

They have to work really, really hard to crash the economy in time for the next election.

Moving to Australia is looking better all the time.

Costa Rica looks good for me.

Rather than trying to eliminate the AMT, I’d rather it be rewritten as a TRUE minimum tax that hits EVERYBODY.

I agree. Also if you don't pay taxes, you don't get a vote.

Fair enough. My apologies if I offended you.

No problem. There are lots of people here on FR. It takes time to get to know people. Everyone has a position on a given topic. The signal to noise ratio on FR is better than most places.

“For income taxes, earn less. Cut expenses e.g. employees and unnecessary consumption as necessary to make up the difference. The net impact of “taxing the rich” is unemployment.”

Bingo my FRiend! I notice these schemes come around every so often but really get pushed every 20 to 25 years or so. Guess they figure their new batch of workers won’t get it. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why they want to import new stupid workers. Too many of us REAL American workers get it!

USA tax rate was previously 94 % under FDR !!!!!!!!!!!!!
