Where are the tax cuts?

Okay, and I have read many of the media reports about what the proposed compromise is on the raising tax rates on the American people. However, I don’t see tax cuts. I only see spending increases and pork.

A few points:

1. Keeping tax rates the same as they have been can’t be defined as a tax cut.

2. A one-year, 2% reduction in payroll taxes is not stimulative to the economy.

3. Keeping tax rates the same does not stimulate the economy. It keeps the economy where it is.

4. The federal government has no money other than what it legally steals from us or prints.

I’d say the Republicans are being setup just like they were with Clinton. The lamestream media continues doing the Democrats bidding and the Democrats continue to take advantage of the lack of education among U.S. citizens.

Republicans, note to self, let the calvary come in in January and solve the problem.

I Support Tax Increases….On Politicians

Since the political class is so insistent on raising our taxes, I would support the following tax increase:

– 55% of the increase in a politician’s wealth between his first financial filing at the time he was elected and that at his death is taken and used to pay for retirement and health care costs of all the current and retired politicians thereby keeping their costs off the government’s balance sheet and out of operating costs.

Since the politicians see their wealth increase so much during their tenure, why shouldn’t those of us who put them there actually benefit from this?
