(37,573 posts)What I wanted.
All of the Bush tax cuts to die. I won't get that.
Dividends taxed like ordinary income. I won't get that.
I could have gotten both of those if Democrats had simply done NOTHING.
I still say that doing nothing is better than making a bad deal.
What makes a deal bad?
A bad deal is one that gives more benefits to the richest 5% than it does to the poorest 40%.
80% of the Bush tax cuts to die? I won't get that.
Of course, it is not like I am important. I, after all, am just the fool on the hill who sees money going to the top 20% while the flat earthes are applauding the tax "increases" on the rich. Yep, if Democrats had done nothing then Romney would have paid 39.6% tax rate on his dividends, but thanks to Benedict Obama's glorious victory he will be forced to pay 20%.
That's really gotta sting, eh?
