So Lost

The bread tastes pretty good, but where are the circuses?

Glad to see we’re planning on robbing the poor to fund the health care system.  “Only harms 1.2% of taxpayers” … only the ones who make a crapload of money and give it all away?  No biggie.

Do they really think the rich are this net-income inelastic?  The media and government are dealing too much in relative percentages and deciles.  This is real money, not a percentage!  We’re going to need better ideas than taking away liberal-minded tax deductions like the charitable writeoff.  Doesn’t the AMT do that, already?
