It sure doesn't look like it. This tax bill to extend the current tax rates (it's not a tax cut!) symbolizes that those in DC still don't get it. We only hear from the Lamestream media about the extension of current income rates and unemployment benefits, the death tax (hey, hasn't that money already been taxed once or twice or...?), and the small cut in payroll taxes.
Why isn't there more about the continued earmarks, such as the de facto financial aid given NASCAR? How about some notice of the help given to Puerto Rican rum? Yep, the DC bobbleheads are still stuck on spending. After all, it's not their money!
I got a kick out of a lib reporter's column the other day. The name escapes me right now. But she was harping on the negativity, the anger in DC now--you know, after the election! So, Americans let their voices be known in Nov and now it's all about vitriol. But, when they voiced their opinion in the election in 2008, it was all "kumbaya?" What a fool! Do these writers have relatives who hire them?
Out for a LaBatts.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
