We weren't doing too badly when Reich was in President Clinton's cabinet. And I think Alcaray caught you playing with the fridge magnets.

I never realized you people were going through all this skullduggery and treachery for a measley tax increase of less than 5% that only affected people in the top few percent of the earning population.

When I was working, I would have gladly accepted a 5% tax increase on my modest income as a civil servant if I felt it would help the country. In fact, I would have easily accepted twice that much, for patriotic reasons alone, just to know I was doing my share. I'd take a 10% hit now if I felt it would help, if I knew the rich were paying their share.

As for the 2013 tax bomb, you brought that upon yourselves. You were offered a great deal and you turned it down.

What is wrong with you people? You don't really care what happens to this country, all you really care about it is that it doesn't happen to you.

What I can't figure out is how those who aren't rich, the Republican poor, got conned into swallowing the Party Line. The job creators are not going to come rescue you, no matter how many tax breaks you give them. They don't care what happens to you. The money is following the jobs: it's all getting outsourced.
