The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Wed, 08 Dec 2010 01:27:40 +0000

So gramps dies and $5 million is left untouched while the other assets, the ones that weren’t buried away and/or sheltered, get hit with a 35% tax rate. 99% of the public shouldn’t care.
Nothing is more “Republican” than middle class Republicans fighting tooth and nail so that rich people can keep their often avoided income tax rate while they tell the 2 million Americans who lost their UI benefits to get a fucking job.
FICA: The 1 year payroll tax cut (SS revenue cut) is gonna be filled by general revenues. This was a mistake. They should have just rebated (if they did anything at all) from general revenue. This just gives the Republicans more of an excuse to claim that SS benefits should be cut to resolve future SS benefit shortfalls instead of the identifying the real culprit which is excessive, regressive top end tax cuts which have been hijacking surpluses for decades.
