Try to keep your eye on the target. It is not the tax increase, but the spending cuts. Everyone gets wrapped around inevitable tax increases while Congress, the COurts and Excecutive Branch keeps spending like drunken Soldiers.
(As a retired Chief, I never like the the phrase “like a drunken Sailor” hit too close to home.)
My point is I think the finger pointing is misguided. This isn’t Romney’s fault...the So-Cons...Akins...the GOPe..Boniers...
The voters had a real clear choice in this election. Higher taxes..more regulations......Abortionpalloza at the DNC with Sandra Fluke...a drunken Jennifer Granholm...free condoms...free health care...hopey ...changey...gay marriage. “TOLERANCE”...Magical windmills that will produce enough power to light up LA, Chicago and NYC
Or better jobs, less regulation, cheaper energy and higher GDP.
Hey I don’t know what to say cept give em what they want. When you have a really bad hand to hell with bluffing. Cut your losses. Sit tight and wait till the hopium wears off and when the music stops playing make sure we have a seat.
