A few words on Taxes

I'm so over  "bipartisanship."  If I could go two or threee years withou hearing the word bipartisanship, I might be able to get over the stabbiness the sound of the word gets me. I should just call it the b word i'm that sick of it.

More specifically, I don't get why President Obama is trying for bipartisanship with such unreasonable people as this current crop of Republicans who would dancc on the smoking remains of the White House if they thought that by doing so it would get them a couple more points in their approval ratings.   Take this tax cut thing, Democrats want it for those making less than $250,000 per year and Republicans want to keep the cuts for those above that 250K mark, and not go back to the 39% under Bill Clinton.   

So here's my solution: The tax cuts expire, taxes go up 3 percent and everyone pays a little more.  Nobody gets any goddamn thing,  3-4 percent and to hear the GOP/ FoxNoise crew tell it we were looking at  a 20% hike.  If you can't compromise like adults, nobody gets shit.   No more compromise, no bipartisanship, no nothiiiing!  It was a poorlythought out law that wasn't paid for and it is time to say bye-bye.  We can't afford it.

Since I do not have a job, there is no income tax to be taken from a paycheck, but i DO pay sales tax whenever i go to the store and buy something. If i buy a Diet Coke from the gas staion when i pick up some ice, sales tax.

I pay sales tax at the mall if i get a Cinnabon or a pretzel from Auntie Anne's, or if i get a corndog. Whatever i get there's always some tax. Godiva Chocolate, Hello Kitty notebooks,  toothpaste, laundry soap,  tax, tax, tax.

There was probably sales tax figured into the price of the Santa Picture that waas taken with me , my sister, and my cousin this past Saturday.

Theres sales tax when i buy cat food, Doritos or a birthday card.  I don't have much, but i am paying SOMETHING. Everybody does.  Very few thing are truly nox-taxable these days, Illegal immmigrants pay sales tax at the grocery and dollar stores.  Paris Hilton pays sales tax on jewelry or a new phone or a pair of Louboutins.  

TAANSTAFL, people.
