Wisconsin........the people have spoken.......AGAIN.

Of course we realize that, that's old news. And that is exactly why Democrats haven't been pushing for letting them all expire, only the ones for individuals making >200k/year or couples making >250k/year. I don't suppose your right-wing radio host mentioned that? And that $800 billion number is the lowest I've heard. I'm pretty sure most estimates put it over a trillion. That's a trillion dollars shaved off the deficit, without raising taxes on any individual making less than $200,000/year, or any married couples making less than $250,000. But no, of course we can't have that! Not with Grover Norquist holding so many Republicans by the short hairs.

I didn't know it...........I I still wish before we try to force those on the top to pay more that we'd at least try to collect some taxes from folks that don't pay a DIME. I mean really..........Even if you are SCRAPING by, you should be able to pay 5%. EVERYONE in this country should be required to pay some taxes. I've NEVER not paid taxes. Even when I was a very poor mofo, I still paid taxes. My wife and I even when I started out and made less that CRAP......I didn't apply or NOR take any gubment handouts.

I WANT everyone in this country.......POOR or not to have some stake in the tax revenues paid......Once they have an equitable stake in tax paying, THEN we can talk about raising taxes.

And you know what..........this could easily be one of those silly play on words that everyone in Washington loves. It's not a tax increase, they are simply limiting a tax credit that EARNED income recipients receive.

I have one better than that.......FREEZE the COLA that that is included every year. That will be a 6% decrease for next year.......Imagine that.

Later,
