Why not just make all the tax cuts permanent in exchange for something big?

[Duer 157099]

We all know that in 2 years this will happen anyway, but at least if we did it now, we remove it as a campaign issue for the pukes to run on.

And maybe we could actually get some sort of big concession for something we know will happen anyway.

I mean, if you're gonna do it, DO IT BIG!

1. What do you have in mind?

And how will you pay for it after permanent tax cuts?

2. Best you start pondering how they'll be paid for because it will happen in 2 years

3. How about 100% Estate Tax on anything above 1 million? - An end to inherited wealth.

7. I would have rather he done it permanently than to feed us more BS

about "it's only for 2 years" and thus just HAND the 2012 election to the pukes. Because that is what he has done.

4. 75% reduction in military expenditures, minimum....

That would do it. I'd be the first in line to support deep tax cuts coupled with commensurate reductions in military spending.

5. How about they get their tax cuts,

and all right wingers have to move to Iran, because I think they would fell far more comfortable in a country that is run by the religion and is a one party right wing system.

6. A Tax-Debate Christmas

Reuben Kincaid the Doctor
The state doesn't have any money
For schools, or Medicare, or the army, or birth control
Well Bush said relax if we spend more we'll win
Day-glow pixies and Barbies and dumptrucks and Lysol
What does he think our health care can wait?
Obama just took hell for firming it up
But if I go to the doctor I don't want to see Bush smiling
And saying we should push things of 'til the third millenium
If Gore was right we have a hundred and twenty years
Not a vacation in the South Pacific
If we don't have money raise taxes and legalize herb
You can pay a pretty penny on that yacht
And still walk off with the leather
The thing is the gay dude's sick
And his sister's on welfare
So maybe it's steel girders this Christmas
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
