In regard to GOPpers wanting every program paid for; simple solution...
Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 08:18 AM by Atman
If I were in Congress, I would propose a tax on incomes over $250,000, every time. Back-door the mofos and claw back their obscene tax breaks. I'm so sick of these assholes demanding to know how we'll pay for things like the First Responders bill when the answer is so plainly obvious; tax the wealthy.

Too bad we'll soon have a GOP House, and instead everything will be paid for by eliminating Social Security and Medicare.

1. Let the wars be funded first before any more investment by Congress is proposed.
I don't mean borrowing more from China. With real tax dollars.

2. Tax corporate wealth as well. It is starting to appear that mega-corps simply
pass the obscene profits along to the primary facilitators within the organizations. This makes them nothing more than money laundering operations that have become efficient at redistributing wealth with the help of favorable tax legislation that their wholly owned subsidiary the congress enacted.
