everybodies happy, except the middle class, they are fucked no matter what, but they are the pigs to be slaughtered in this dynamic, so nobody gives a shit.
whats going to be funny is the squealing you will hear from republican baggers when their place at the tax trough gets cut.

Why, in your opinion are the middle class getting slaughtered? Are you saying that if you make $100,000 a year your tax rate is too high and you are getting slaughtered? Well, if that's the case, then why isn't the tax rate too high for somebody making $250,000 ?
I guess I'm just against the govt. taking our money and then not really being accountable for it. I'm not sure that any of us can say with certainty what the govt. does with our tax money these days. Seems they just spend it like drunken sailors sometimes.
Anyway, that's my thought on it. I'm not interested in the political argument OR the class warfare bullshit. In my mind the govt. uses that shit to keep people from seeing the reality of what they are doing.
It's just misdirection. While some of you are fighting about Republicans VS Dems, and others are class warfare enthusiasts with rich VS poor....the govt. takes our money and does what it wants to. Next time your Senator gives himself another raise, then shoves a shitload of pork into every bill to pay off his buddies back home and then takes a private jet to a tropical locale on "official business" just remember that you were busy worrying about the misdirection play that they fooled you with.
