Funny how the conservative cartoonists have now shown boulders representing debt, and boulders representing taxes. Which is it? They’re opposites, one is a result of eliminating the other.
Considering that the idiot Senator from California (this time Barbara Boxer—but she is interchangeable with Feinstein) wants to levy a “Carbon Tax” on top of the Fuel Taxes we already pay to the Federal Government when we buy our gasoline, this will probably be one of the new taxes “in the mix” as the San Francisco “Chronicle” and its SFGate.com website have reported.
Letting a temporary tax cut expire isn’t a new tax. The Republicans have gone along every time, too.I suppose you’d rather see Social Security disappear from lack of proper funding.
Reinstating what was supposed to be a “temporary” tax break, is NOT an “increase” from traditional taxation, and indeed still represents a tremendous DECLINE from historic rates, as in the 1950’s. Apology to Australia, but the “TEA party” and Republican theme song should be “Whining Matilda”.

What a moron – Kelly can’t remember the old tax cut – which was due to expire 4 years ago.
