What Predictable Hell Is This? -- The Taxman Cometh

Everybody with two or more brain cells saw this coming.

Technically, I suppose, it's not really "FRESH" hell, just a new iteration of the old "tax-and-spend" idiocy. Now it's "tax-borrow-and-spend-ourselves-and-our-kids-into-economic-serfdom."

Oh, and for the record, I don't CARE that Obama promised not to raise taxes on people who make less than $250,000. Promises made on the campaign trail are worth precisely nothing after the election. I'm telling you right now that taxes plain or stealth are coming for EVERYBODY.

Don't even get me started on the Big Green Omnibus Energy Tax -- I mean, cap-and-trade! (Note to Senate: KILL THIS MONSTER. NOW. Note to the House: You belong on the reeking, fly-infested compost heap of life, somewhere between the coffee grounds and the potato peels.) I see no point to impoverishing everybody and then demanding that they pay more taxes.

We'll get a new term out of this president instead of "omnibus" spending bill for those massive fusions of department spending.

From now on, they'll be called an "Obamabus" spending bill--appropriations acts so big that they throw us all--and our children--under the bus ...

Yes, under the eco-friendly, biodiesel-powered bus with recycled tires.

"You belong on the reeking, fly-infested compost heap of life, somewhere between the coffee grounds and the potato peels."

It is satifying when you find just the right words, isn't it?

I would add: On top of the mold and under the cat litter.

Thanks for a good laugh through tears.

Yes, definitely under the kitty litter!
