The Congress doesn’t have to do anything on the tax cuts. They could just let them expire. That would be a do-nothing Congress with some actual benefit to the nation. It would be President Bush & the Congress of 2001 & 2003 who raised taxes on January 1, 2011.
Bless its heart, the U.S. Congress has never been immune from some crazy stuff, nor members. History is replete with voters sending to the Congress some…er…um…interesting representatives.
No matter what we do, we seem intent – at least lately, with the rare exception – on voting ourselves right smack into a deep hole. Quit digging, already, ‘Murka! What are you thinking?
We will as Americans take the opportunity tomorrow to perform the most sacred ritual of our storied existence: we will exercise the right to cast our ballots – in secret – against our own best interests!
But it’s our fault. We let it happen. We’re apparently too stupid to keep these morons out of races for elected office. We keep voting for them in primaries.
60 million people get to carry off 85 percent of everything that's owned in the US of A with just 3 million of them gettin’ to keep nearly half of the 85 percent they just hauled off; leavin’ the 240 million of us remaining to fight over the 15 percent that’s left.
