It's a mad, mad world and more tax cuts?

More tax cuts, please ...

No jobs? How about some tax cuts.

Interest rates going up? How about some more tax cuts.

Interest rates going down? We definitely need more tax cuts.

Floods, famine, hurricanes, global warming? Tax cuts, tax cuts.

Sunshine, balmy breeze? See how those tax cuts run.
--------------------

I suppose I'm the one who is mad and not the entire media/corporate/political world BUT it seems to me that with full employment and living wages workers would be able to pay their fair share of taxes.

And when there are no jobs or only part time or starvation-wage jobs then tax cuts have no benefit for those so accursed at all.

The only people and organizations who ever benefit from tax cuts produced by our elected aristocrat-wannabes are those that already don't pay anywhere near their fair share.

ADDED:
I actually suspect this unfortunately isn't about Republicans, but rather about a bunch of Blue Dog Democrats who are so incredibly stupid that they can't tell the difference between fiscal responsibility for a family of four and trying to stave off another Great Depression. (Yes, they really are that thick.)


Today's QUOTES:





Another good solution to the too-big-to-fail problem is to break up any institution that becomes too big to fail....
