The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Apparently if you make over one millions dollars in a single year you are super rich. It’s already 35% so that would make it a nice round 40%. When you’ve added social security and state and local taxes it’s more like 50%. The funny thing about this tax on the “super-rich” is that there are bound to be people all over the country that just happened to have a really good-year in spite of the really bad economy. Well, even though they had such a good year I guess they still won’t be hiring that additional employee, instead that 50k will go straight to uncle sam.
