Never make a deal with the devil, always turns out poorly.

Considering the source of the statements, I don’t believe it...

include a "permanent tax cut."

I call BS. No way any of the socialists are going to cut taxes.

We now live in bizarro world. We’ve spent the last 5 or 6 years listening to the looney left demanding that we roll back the Bush tax cuts. WTF???

She has to let capitalism work for a little before switching to socialism.

Why not just extend the Bush tax cuts?????? There’s a catch her somewhere. These are Democrats after all.

Goldman Sachs, which is getting $10 billion from the bailout plan, is paying out $6.85 billion in bonuses, according to media reports. That's $210,000 per employee. And that's despite a 47% drop in its profit and 53% drop in its share price.

Morgan Stanley, which is also getting $10 billion from our government, is doling out $6.44 billion in bonuses or $138,700 per employee, even though its profits tumbled 41% and its shares are off by 69%. And even the failures at Lehman Brothers are collectively getting over $1 billion in bonuses.

NEW YORK, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Merrill Lynch & Co (MER.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) Chief Executive John Thain may receive a $5.22 million award if Bank of America Corp (BAC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) completes its purchase of the Wall Street bank and brokerage by Dec. 31 as planned.

The sum, known as a change-of-control award, reflects the cash value of stock-based awards that would vest automatically when the merger closes, Bank of America said. Merrill Chief Financial Officer Nelson Chai would get a $1.17 million award, the bank said.

Bank of America disclosed the awards this week in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. It disclosed awards of slightly different sums in two separate filings last month.

Translation: Tax increases on whatever demographic that will not lose them votes to pay for welfare checks to indolent scum.

In other words, she’ll gladly pay us tomorrow for a two-step stimulus package today.

I guess it means that deep down all liberals know that supply and demand is what it’s all about.

Wealth only comes by enterprise; people spending their own money.

But it takes this downturn to flush ‘em out - and they will revert to type when the downturn is over and live in fantasy land forevermore.

But are they going to pull a bait and switch by letting the Bush tax cuts expire and then give us tax cuts that are smaller?

Yeah, she’ll cut taxes for gays. Or, maybe some other underprivileged group.

Democrats believe government payments to people that don’t pay taxes is a tax cut.

That’s where her Permanent Tax Cut comment comes from.

Let’s see how much of her “tax cut” goes to people who pay income taxes.
