As he finished pasting up his ransom note, Boehner thought: “No one will suspect me.”
Once again, the government is being held hostage by House Republicans, led by the orange crybaby, John Boehner. Man, he pulls this stunt more often than a teenager pulls his boner on the internet. Only Boehner’s boner is that you can balance a budget without raising revenue.
The Republicans keep trying to get people to fix this phony debt crisis. Phony because they won’t allow the one thing that can really affect debt. Srsly, I’d never ask HIM to help balance my home budget. “What are THESE items, food, clothing, home…you don’t need more than that McDonald’s salary–just trim those down a bit and you’ll be doing fine. Increase the guns and ammo expenditures, you never know when you’ll have to barge in somewhere and stand your ground.”
Speaking of which, there’s another stand your ground case in Florida, a man opening fire on a carload of teenagers because they wouldn’t turn down their music. Do you start to think that some people have no idea that “stand your ground” doesn’t involve running out and shooting anyone who disagrees with you?
Enough said.

I do believe that there are a large number of people who require a trip to the wood shed and then sent to their rooms sans dinner.
Guns are dangerous things. Mix them with misanthropes and you have American exceptionalism.
Oh, I don’t know. Being on my fourth teenager, I definitely have some sympathy for the guy. Maybe if he’d just shot the stereo that would have been reasonable?
Seriously, the thing to remember about top marginal tax rates is that they really impact only the top one-half of 1%, and even then it would have no impact on their lifestyles. Boehner is just showing where his true loyalties really lie.
I would say that the majority of these people have accountants and lawyers whose sole job it is to keep them from ever having to pay any taxes, marginal or not.
