Talking Taxes

[sandensea]

1. You said it: they've done a very good job brainwashing people on this subject

To many in the middle class, even a $10 a month increase in taxes - like Clinton's in '93 - is seen as tantamount to a Stalin-style seizure of home, car, savings, and that little studio the guy keeps near the college for his extramarital goings-on.

(and then, they lose it all in the next GOPee financial crisis - but that's too much for them to wrap their heads around, so they don't mind)

To say nothing of a more substantial tax hike - even if it's in exchange for doing away with those worthless, $1,000 a-month premiums that give us next to nothing in return.

Such are the times we live in.
