Absolutely Irresponsible; A Pox on Both Their Houses

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme expected to run a deficit this very year... and yet... Obama's "compromise" tax bill includes a payroll tax (FICA) giveaway of 2%.

I can't believe I'm about to do this... (*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)... but allow me to quote Jerry Nadler... with approval!

Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, said he feared the one-year cut in the Social Security payroll tax, to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent on income up to $106,800, would weaken Social Security because Republicans would insist on it being made permanent, and Democrats would relent. “We know that politically once you make that tax cut it will be impossible to restore it,” Mr. Nadler said.

The phony son of a bitch is right!

(Why call the man who's right a phony son of a bitch? Simple. This is the first time I'm aware of that Nadler has ever opposed a "middle class" tax cut or "middle class" giveaway! Still... he's right on this one!)

Seriously, folks... the sheer and absolute irresponsibility of adding to deficit spending as our nation's economy swirls around the drain is enough to make one wish that...

(*PAUSE*)

(*SLOWLY COUNTING TO TEN*)

(See, folks... I can control myself and avoid putting something in writing that might warrant a visit from Homeland Security, the Secret Service, ATF, or the FBI...)

I don't know what to tell, you, folks; democracy isn't working. Our elected representatives are destroying our country from within.

Ask yourself this, folks... at the very least should not this facet of the "tax package" have been separately debated and voted upon...??? Hmm...???

Folks... the game is rigged. And I use the word "game" quite deliberately. These bastards in Washington think they're playing a game... they obviously believe they're "playing" with monopoly money!

As I've noted time and again, the so-called "Bush Era tax cuts" are far removed from "the Bush era" and beyond that, since we're now in December of 2010 the idea of referring to them as "cuts" is ludicrous. Simply put, the tax rates as of yesterday should be known simply as... er... the tax rates.

Last night's vote apparently neither raises nor lowers basic income tax rates, therefore... federal income taxes have been neither raised nor lowered.

The FICA tax reduction however...

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

This is clearly a new tax cut. This is a new "giveaway" championed by the same folks who have over the past two years added trillions of new debt to the nation's sadly out of balance accounts!

Seriously, folks... at the risk of a knock on my door by the authorities... short of killing the bastards how are We The People supposed to stop them from destroying our country?

We're in deep trouble... deep... deep... trouble...
