you're impressively full of shit today. you've already stated that you want to see the tax cuts for wealthy people to expire, and that you would like it if the rest of the Bush tax cuts went away in addition. just because you don't want that money to be spent helping people doesn't change that fact.

but, hey...don't let that stop you from being a contrarian asshole. it's not like we aren't you're only friends or anything.

(damn good thing, it being a no-brainer, that is...)

stealing from the producing class is the only way to supplement what the Democraps steal from their children and grandchildren.....

are you sure that's all?

after all, making someone else pay taxes you are not willing to pay yourself is a pretty sweet deal.

they used to call it 'taxation without representation'.

now its just called socialism.

Either way, the republicans are neutered on this issue. Whatever they say about it is worthless.

I'm about as shocked at that as I am with the Republican intransigence on tax cuts for the wealthy no matter what percent of the voters support getting rid of said cuts.

1. Inherit it.

2. Steal it (or lie/cheat/insider).

3. Save and invest more than 10 percent of your income. This includes schooling.

If you're not doing one of those, it is highly unlikely you will ever become rich, and if you do (lottery), you will almost certainly lose almost all of it within 5-10 years.

Just ask Bernie Madoff.

Yep.

Any day now, I'm just going to start making boatloads of money.

*whistling*

It's also why I'm fine with more restrictions on the poor. I mean, I'll certainly never be that way. I'm not lazy.
