THERE is a God! It passed! The Bush tax cuts have been extended two years for the upper bracketeers, of which I am a proud member, thank you very much. I’m the last person in the world I’d want to be beside, but I am beside myself! This is a life changer, I tell you. A life changer!
To begin with, I was planning a trip to Cabo with my kids for Christmas vacation. We were going to fly coach, but now with the money I’m saving in taxes, I’m going to splurge and bump myself up to first class. First class! Somebody told me they serve warm nuts up there, and call you “mister.” I might not get off the plane!
I’m also going to call the hotel and get another room so I don’t have to sleep on a cot in the kids’ room. Don’t get me wrong — I love a good cot. The problem is they tend to take up a lot of room, and it’s getting a little tougher in my advancing years to fold it up and drag it to the closet. I mean, I’d do it if I had to, but guess what? I don’t! Not with this windfall coming my way. Now I get to have my own room with a king-sized bed. And who knows, maybe I’ll even get some fancy bottled water from the minibar. This is shaping up to be the best vacation I’ve had in years.

Life was good, and now it’s even better. Thank you, Republicans. And a special thank you to President Obama and the Democrats. I didn’t know you cared.

Gee Whiz Larry you could have spent your Christmas Vacation here in America and helped our resort economy.
It cute satire, but why not spend the money in America. Sheesh if the rich folks would spend the money in America than perhaps we could get out of this mess.
Somebody actually thinks this drivel is funny?
Another brilliant piece from the NYTurd.
Stop trying to get the government to coerce more money from my paycheck!!!
Does Larry know he is not required to claim deductions?
LLS
If Larry doesn’t like it, he can always write a check to the Treasury. Instead, he is helping an airline pay the bills including helping them keep the ticket counter personnel, luggage carriers, and many others who work for them. He is helping a hotel, including busboys, cleaners, etc. He is helping those who make TVs and the salesperson who sold it. With all his whining, he doesn’t realize that he is doing more than the government would do with this money..
..And he is doing it by his own free choice.. isn’t freedom grand?
“Does Larry know he is not required to claim deductions?”
Yep- he just wants everybody else to be distracted of that fact and look like the “good, concerned liberal” here...

“larry david can give as much of his money to the irs as he wishes... being a hollyweird commie... he is just talking about OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY... NOT HIS MONEY!”
—You got it.
Merry Christmas Q!
LLS
They are the same people who also think that NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" is funny.
Thanks LLS- Merry Christmas to you, too!
I find it amazing that they are calling it a stimulus strategy. It’s like they are so brainwashed that they truly believe that retaining the same take home pay as now is a big tax cut that will put new money in our pockets. My check next year will be the same as it is today. There is no extra money in it to buy more things with. If they hadn’t passed the tax bill, my paycheck would be less than it is today, which would contribute to the recession and make less money available to buy things than is currently available. What planet to these people live on?

If Larry David doesn’t have a private plane, or access to one I’ll eat my shoe.
LOL! This guy thinks this is funny and sarcastic?
Larry David goes to Cabo first class instead of voluntarily giving his excess money to charity or the poor ... Bush’s fault!
Seriously, no wonder his ex wife thought Al Gore was an intellectual hunk.
