I Love Republicans. And I Love Their Budget

Dear Republicans,

I adore Rush. I am a big fan of Glen Beck. Michele Bachmann is a fox and a mighty smart fox at that. And that Republican Budget! Did you guys somehow manage to channel Einstein for his superior brain power in order to come up with this absolute gem? No kidding.

To begin with, you want to freeze discretionary spending for the next five years. BRILLIANT! I agree with you and my hero, President Ronald Reagan that Government is the Problem. Get government out of the way, shrink it so small you could drown it in a bathtub. That's the ticket. We don't need more regulation, we need LESS, like the kind of regulation that got us into this mess in the first place. Oh, wait... Well there must be some technical thing I don't understand about regulation. Less regulation, and less government spending, I say. Let's do it the way Herbert Hoover did it. That's going to be the solution.

And then there's tax cuts for all the really really rich people. Good idea. So they can trickle down on us. Trickle, trickle trickle.

Some spoil sports say the super rich tax cuts would cost the government $4 trillion. Four trillion dollars. Well, so what, the super rich people all worked hard to earn their money and they should be allowed to keep it.

the Huffpost reports:

The Republican budget blueprint released last week called for "a marginal tax rate for income up to $100,000 of 10 percent and 25 percent for any income thereafter," which would result in a massive reduction in government revenue and a generous tax break for the wealthy, who currently pay a 35 percent rate.

And then there's this description of the GOP budget from Buzzflash:

...a 53-page journey through Gilded Age unenlightenment and Hooverite Babbittry. Tax cuts galore -- personal tax cuts, corporate tax cuts, a capital gains holiday -- and, naturally, the macroeconomic anaconda of a government spending freeze, excepting, just as naturally, defense.

Well, if the poor and middle class taxpayers don't like paying more taxes under the Republican plan, let them work hard and get rich so they too can qualify for the super rich tax cut. It's the American way.

Thank you Republicans in the House, for showing us exactly what Republicans are made of. Stern 14th Century Stuff.

Regards,
