In reply to the discussion: Bush Tax Cuts Have Provided Extremely Large Benefits to Wealthiest Americans Over Last Nine Years [View all]EOTE
(13,409 posts)46. Oh, thanks for clearing that up.
I knew about the OP ban, but I didn't realize it lasted a day. I thought once you get a post hidden, you were barred from participating in that particular OP for good. I didn't notice my friend had gotten his post hidden.
I do find it rather hilarious that he goes on this huge screed about democrats attacking the wealthy when all we've (I've) asked for is to go back to the tax code as it existed prior to Bush. He really seems to be suggesting we'd still be better with the chimp still in office. I've seen so much here, but defense of the Bush tax cuts is something I NEVER thought I'd see here.

OP
Yes, but we have to give them a bigger tax cut or they'll lose their incentive to work....

You know that 10+% of the population believes they're in the top 1% of income earners.

I have no desire to be friends with anyone who's incapable of grasping such simple concepts.
