I know my truck driving Dad didn’t. He still worked his ass off and I don’t think he gave a shit what the guys making $200,000 in 1959 paid in taxes. Just didn’t give a shit.

I guess that’s the consequences of a world without Limbaugh or a nutbag French woman to tell us how tough it was to afford a nanny at those tax rates. Seems like the country did pretty well back then, too.

But his dad (for whom Bill III built and named the new UW Law School, replacing the earlier concrete bunker, and yes, I’m still bitter and damaged…) became the chief spokesman against Bush’s ‘kill the Death Tax forever turn regressive tax policy up to 11′ crusade.

People who are true “producers” don’t just produce for profit. It’s what the wingnut welfare crowd doesn’t get because they only produce Internet columns and bulk-purchased screeds so they can pick up a check.

Entrepreneurs, inventors, etc., almost always have a drive to create products or start up enterprises. Sure, the money is nice if something goes big, but it’s the process that motivates them. A few % points of tax won’t change their desire to do that stuff.

Ever notice how the fundies always conveniently forget how those very openly socialist, evil Scandinavian countries are all quite technologically advanced, despite the lack of buttload of tax-free $$$$ “incentive”?

You are still the master of teh funny.

Oh yeah… where’s the fucking dogs?

Thank you.

I’m waiting for him to tell us that the Fort Hood shooting could have been prevented if everyone had been armed, trained and ready.
