Switch, shift and shaft. Work longer, harder for less. Pay more as you go with no assurances that concessions now will change the future.<br /><br />Freedom's just another word for BOHICA? <br /><br />$1 a gallon tax on gas = $130 Billion with ZERO investment in sane mass transit, sustainable cities...<br /><br />Nothing about, on or FOR education?<br /><br />Presto change-o. Or is that change=zero<br /><br />It's still spend now, pay later without accounting for the federal pension time-bomb.<br /><br />To return sanity and equity to "value and worth" we must raise the marginal rate for any income over $1 million a year back to near- confiscatory levels. <br /><br />"Making do" on a million a year?<br />Oh the horror!<br />Make the tax code a straight, narrow progressive process. As you make more, you have more to lose so it costs more to protect.<br /><br />And FYI, the class of `46, the first of the so called Baby-boomers, will turn 65 in 2011.<br />So far only a tiny percentage of boomers have retired. So how is it that boomers are to blame for the solvency problems?<br /><br />How is blaming them any different than blaming DFHs, liberals or other conjured boogeymen?Rehctawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995444077162800445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-31780161332003835852010-10-29T18:04:00.559-05:002010-10-29T18:04:00.559-05:00The Republican Party has become of the party of wh...<i>The Republican Party has become of the party of white supremacy.
