Party of Privilege, Then, Now, and in the Future 0

The irresponsibility of the current majority party is mind-boggling. They run up the bill and send out no invoices.

The House voted yesterday to extend a series of tax cuts from President Bush’s first term, arguing that the lower rates were crucial to sustain a rebounding economy, and shrugging off concern that the cuts would swell the federal deficit.

The House voted 234-197 for tax cuts that would benefit mainly businesses and investors and cost the Treasury $56.1 billion over five years.

The orgy of Republican disdain for the public good and Republican greed boggles my mind.

No, I don’t like taxes either. But as a recipient of the benefits of services provided by the government, I recognize an obligation to help pay for those services.

But, then, I’m not rich. Apparently, in the opinion of the current majority party, the rich need not pay for the services they receive.

That’s left for the rest of us.

Where’s my Di-Gel?
