    Puck, soak the rich? Steal every dime they make?

    Let's start with the all too real fact that only the chumps in this country pay any taxes at all.

    Corporate income tax rate of 35%? Yeah, sounds high, but who actually pays that? GE? Lockmart? You're kidding me, right?

    Income tax on the rich too high? The truly rich aren't paying it, they don't have income. (evidenced by Steve Job's salary structure......great PR and a tax dodge all in one!)


    Yeah, we're screwed, but as shown by the deficit supercommittee,

    (Pardon me whilst I LMAO, nice move, guys, full of thunder and bluster but ZERO actual effect or impact, all Congress has to do is pass a law changing the "automatic" federal spending cuts and then both sides get to whine to their base about how bad the other side is)

    We're not so screwed that the children in Congress don't see this as anything other than a chance to score political points while delaying a solution to the problem.

    It ain't the Democrat's fault, it ain't the Republican's fault.

    It's OUR fault.

    We keep reelecting the same hacks. As a country we are well and truly insane. We keep electing the same people and expecting different results.

    On "Republicans" are beholden to lobbyists. Didn't you get the memo?

    I know. I've said as much before.
