Now wait a minute here, for the term "tax cuts for the rich" to apply, this story needs to be changed from middle class to upper class right? I
mean, according to most of my fellow dems, the middle and lower class got nothing right? Look, once and for all, we have to clearly mark the bounds
of this class system if we're going to have a political group using it for warefare. I think this tax cut extension is a good idea because I happen
to think 128 trillion dollars over 10 years is a big enough budget for our government to operate efficiently...of course that will be exceeded by 4 to
10 % each year compounding. You can bet that when it comes to who is more responsible with that money, it ain't gonna be the people in Washington.
They have no right to homes paid for by taxes, limos, helicopters, planes, hookers, furniture, or anything else. They are to be self-sufficient and
hold their office as a duty to their country and receive a small re-imbursment for the time they are in DC in session to compensate for their losses.
That , in no way, obligates this country to a triple digit salary and all the perks our elected officials have provided for themselves at your
expense. We have to say no to politics as a profession. If 12 dollars a day is good enough for a citizen to sit on a jury in a court of law, its
damn well good enough for someone in the house and senate. If these people have the nations best interest at heart like they claim in their
campaigns, they should be willing to serve for free much less millions per year. Our money is wasted on the useless.
