Big fan of front pagers that I am, I slavishly read FP posts, mumbling things like "no shit" under my breath, and usually click on the yummy links provided, for there's always a "there" there.
So, when BarbinMD promised the utterly nauseating spectacle of Rudy Giuliani in a dress, I couldn't resist.
But there was another surprise just down the page - It seems Flip Romney wants to know how he should think about tax policy.
So he's asking for it.
In more ways than one.
My suggestion on the flip
Apparently, being a multimillionaire, and thus on the receiving end of the Bush Budget Blowout, isn't enough to make this lifelong recently converted hunter conservative solid in his belief that the rest of us should continue subsidizing him and his obscenely wealthy cohorts, so he's asking anyone on Yahoo! answers for their input on tax policy.
I was happy to oblige, but it took a few drafts to make it civil enough that I was sure it would get past the community standards.
Repeal the regressive Bush tax cuts. Exempt families at under 200% of the poverty line from all federal taxes.
I have a family and earn under 20k per year and have seen no benefit from these supposedly helpful cuts.
Meanwhile, the deficit continues to balloon. These cuts were supposed to pay for themselves. They didn't. My daughter does not want to pay for this her whole life - she's seen no benefit, either.
I know it runs counter to republican ideology, but it's plain math. Make the rich give back the loot. It's not fair.
Once again, here's the link.
It only takes a few minutes.
Republicans seldom put themselves at risk by coming out of the bubble, so let's let one of them get a good deep breath of the real world, whaddaya say?
Have Fun!!
