OUT DAMN TAX

Where Mr. Creosote Eats Us Out of Insolvency
In a report released shortly before Thanksgiving, a deficit reduction panel co-chaired by former Republican Senator Pete Domenici and former Clinton budget director Alice Rivlin called for a national penny-per-ounce excise tax on sugary drinks. (That’s 68 cents on a two-liter bottle.) - Your New Tax Code


Oh yeah, the very government asshats who spent us into insolvency will solve it with a series of "temporary refund adjustments."  Decrease gummint spending? What's that, I c'unt hear you.

Including benefits, the average federal government employee now earns $123,000 annually; double that of their counterparts in the private sector. It should come as no surprise that seven of the 10 richest counties in the nation surround Washington, DC. 


Bob Barr notes that even the erstwhile(?) Soviet Union and Cuba are reducing their bloated bureaucracies - but not us.  Oh no.  Gird yourself against an onslaught of taxes that punish  gas, food, entertainment, travel,  and sin guzzlers.  And, how many new IRS agents did Obama just hire? - 10,000 or 100,000?  I forget.  But Rodge, what can we do aside from killing everyone?  Answer: keep doing what we've been doing.  Vote every liberal, progressive, democrat and moderate, whatever they call themselves,  out of office.  Or die broke.

They can't understand or addmit to understanding the difference in tax revenues vs. tax rates. They refuse to admitt that the Bush tax rate cuts led to increased tax revenue due to increased economic activity and thus increased revenue. Of course they spent the increased tax revenue faster than it came in

which is why we'll eventually have to throw them all down abandoned wells.

Go Gault: whenever possible, pay cash and barter rather than generate a taxable record. If I pay $1,000 to a bulldozer driver to rework my road, I get a warm feeling knowing there is a chance he might spend that money on his wife and kids rather than give 20% to Obama.

I just saw where Uhbama proudly wants to do 'his' part and 'save' $2 billion by freezing govt employee wages for two years.
1. chump change
2. fuck him because:
3. if he were serious about reducing spending he would:
4. fire 20% of them
5. decree a 20% pay cut for the remainder
6. Now we're talkin'!
